nice one nekokate

it says 'it invades homes in October in preparation for hibernation' - i don't mind, plenty of room here - i'll just have to make sure not to frighten it, apparently they smell when they're frightened, or squashed! who'd squash a little thing like that!

he's still here :) i've been trying to get a decent pic but he's always moving around, now he's having a sleep it seems - but lodged into a gap in my piano keyboard so i can't get him!

it's like a little robot the way the shell opens and the wings come out, fascinating to watch :sherlock:

Luke, if you've got the spare time, why not try some breeding experiments? It worked for Mengel! Wait a minute, was that Mengele? haha

not before i've written to the tabloids to let them know, something must be done about this before the british way of life is doomed forever

sad news though, i've found a dead one :( although when/if the camera starts working, he'll make an ideal model ...

We're all doomed! Next thing you know there will be people on street corners telling us that the end of the world is nigh!
