It's winter outside, I found a ladybug at home

Good day! Today I found a two-point ladybug on the windowsill (1 spot on each elytra). What's the best thing to do: put it between the frames. to sleep until spring, or feed. And if you feed them, how? I read that it can also be a leaf eater. Tell me how to distinguish it. If it's a leaf beetle, what should I do with it? I will be grateful for any advice.

Oh, and another thing: if you have to keep it until the heat arrives, what should be the daylight mode?

When is spring? Maybe it's time for her to get out. smile.gif
In principle, it is best to let them overwinter, because ladybugs feed on aphids even as adults.

Yes, well, in theory, indeed, between the frames I think it should be normal, we have so zlatoglazki winter.
