That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They're annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.

So while this is the first time I've seen one in someone's colon, I'm not completely shocked either. In fact, it's kind of "on brand".

That is one hardy mofo.

Before any sort of colonoscopy, they give you a days worth of liquid laxatives that you need to drink and you will spend the better part of the day before your procedure shitting what feels like a grown man worth of shit.

Only then will the colon look as clean as it does in the picture.

That damn bug survived all that. Either that or he climbed in a nice clean colon after all the shit was evacuated.

Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the "grown man worth of shit" estimation
