Spotted a ladybug in my terrarium today. (Sitting on the orchid leaf) Should I leave in there or take her out? Friend or Foe?

    I’m pretty sure ladybugs are pest waters but I don’t really remember. If you don’t get bugs in there often, I would recommend releasing it so it can hunt freely

    If it were me I would take her outside, I don’t think she will be harmful to your terrarium but idk if they eat springtails so she may starve if you leave her

    It won’t hurt your terrarium, they are usually predators. It will probably starve if left in there.

    They can eat springtails, but they’re kinda bad at it. They are more known for eating larger, slower-moving prey, like aphids.
