if you don't mind it you could just let it go about it's business. or you could try to make a habitat for it - just get a cup, put a drop or two of water at the bottom, or a moist paper towel, and so leafy plants and twigs to rest on. it should be able to eat raisins.

Lady bugs will come in any cracks in your house to overwinter. You normally get a whole bunch instead of one, though. Lady bugs won't eat your clothing, they actually eat those pesky "bad bugs" in your garden and are benificial to the environment. You probably won't hurt her if you put her outside in a sheltered place. She'll find a warm nook or crany.

Asian ladybugs hibernate and like to overwinter in sheltered areas. In their native habitats they like to overwinter in cracks and crevices in cliff faces. In the west and in urban areas, they seek out cracks and crevices, etc. in buildings. If they get warmed up enough they'll wake and wander. There's a bit of controversy over these beetles, you know. They were introduced into the west because they are much more voracious predators than their cousins here. Most farmers still consider them beneficial, but they have a bad reputation in some quarters. In areas that they've populated heavily native ladybug species are in decline. Not only do the Asians outcompete our native species, they are also predatory on those species as well as other beneficial insects (butterflies, for instance). They're causing a great deal of concern in the wine and wine grape industry as well. They contaminate the grapes with an aromatic compound that has been shown to taint the flavors of wine. And, for the record, they *can* bite. I've never been bitten by one although friends of mine claim to have been. Being skeptical, I did a bit of research. Turns out that they can and do bite. Researchers believe, though, that they're biting because of salt deposits on the skin. In other words they're "tasting" you, not actually biting in defense or whatever.
