Mr Ladybird in or out of house
 
Mr ladybird is walking around our kitchen. we do have some plants on the
windowsill that have a few aphids, on but he seems to spend most of his time
on the rear door.

Would he be better off if he is put outside? or is he better off in the warm
house?

Keep him inside, and leave a window slightly open for a little while, if he chooses to go outside then he can, if not let him stay inside.. He's certainly safer indoors!

Are you sure he's Mr? Insects don't have quite as much a requirement for males as we do, so statistically he's likely to be Miss

I've known ladybirds to come indoors to lay eggs. Have a look for tiny
yellow eggs - that will prove it.
