It’s not exactly an object but I think it is valid.

Ladybugs are kind of disgusting.

A small little ladybug has been living in my room for almost a week now. She doesn’t fly much, so I don’t really mind, and I always pictured lady bugs as cute insects.

There are three of my little friends now, they’re multiplying. I found what appeared to be a ladybug carcass on the floor, it was sort of transparent with an orangish color, I threw it away, so I can’t describe it very well.

I approached one of my little dotted friends, and to my surprise, he didn’t have any dots at all, in fact he was also more orange than red, and a horrendous tail thing was coming out is back, almost as if a fish was stuck inside the bug, and only its tail was visible from the outside, like a poorly digested meal.

I then took a closer look, as I thought that maybe my bad sight was getting on my way. And would you look at that! On top of what I assumed to be its white infinity shaped head lied a black M!

I had been bamboozled, these are not ladybugs, these are Asian lady beetles! I grabbed my ocean dark blue flip flops, and *crunch*, a satisfying little sound came off the first one, like when you break a dry autumn leaf that has fallen off its tree… *crunch* again, two are gone… Oh, it seems like I lost the third one… what a shame, hopefully it’s not plotting a breathtaking revenge against me…

Oh no, wait! I found it, and would you look at that? There were four.

    I’m guessing it’s the sort of bug that bites/stings; definitely not a lady bug.
    Good use of sensory description along with the objective.
