We've had some funny little visitors the last few days at Cloudbridge, so I thought I'd share them with you...

| A lichen katydid! This funny looking chap paid us a visit but tried to hide on a log... |
 |
| This little guy was in our food drawer...we didn't want to share so we popped him outside...I wonder how long it will take him to come back! |
After about a week of having to clear up mouse poo from the kitchen surface, we finally discovered the culprit...a giant mummy mouse had set up her nest under our bookshelf and was busy nursing 3 very cute pink babies. This also solved another mystery as Jen's missing latex gloves apparently make good nesting material and we found about 30 of them tucked up with the little ones!
We decided not to take Frank's advice and feed them to the pig, and instead, Bro cobbled together a mouse box from scrap material (he's very clever!) and we took them a loooong way away from the classroom to start a new life outdoors. No photos of mouse babies as we tried to avoid disturbing them, but needless to say they were bloody cute!

| Bro and his home-made mouse box! |

| This funny chap popped up through the new decking to say hello...not sure what species it is, but I've never seen anything like it before! |
