What is your favourite garden critter?

I think we frequently complain about many of our garden critters eating our plants or being creepy but what is your favorite garden critter? mine has to be the bees, birds and butterflys I cant choose one, I am afraid of bees so don't like them too close but I respect the work they do in my garden. without them we would be stuck. The birds create hours of entertainment for me watching them feed and chase each other and the butterflys are so delicate and pretty.

 

In my yard, I love the robins the most because they keep me company while I'm gardening. I also like the bunnies, turtles and ducks but they're not as sociable!

 

I love the hummers :-D Unfortunately I won't see them till late July or Early August

 

I like all of the birds but the cutiest is the little tree frogs
I think I like them best of all.

 

I love the Hummers.
Oh yes, and the Gnomes!

 

Worms, plenty of worms make for healthy soil.

Above ground critters, frogs.

 

Birds, frogs and little bunnies!!

 

Aw, Eileen, you have hedgehogs? They're so cute. What kind of place do they make to live and what do they eat?

 

Well, how about that! Cute AND helpful.

 

Little green Chameleons amongst my flowers and a little bunny who took up residence under our shed. The swallowtails are back and so are the wasps, bees and beetles.

 

I could say turtles or gnomes but I think it would have to be rabbits. I love the cardinals and blue jays we have here too. Not so the armadillo. I'll send him to someone else. dooley

 

Dooley, don't send him my way, I have my fair share and then some. They have the yard looking like a minefield from digging for grubs.

 

I didn't realize armadillos were so destructive, Dooley. They look cute to me. But that's what everyone says about our chipmunks and squirrels here.

I love the dragonflies we have here at the lake...so many different varieties, and they eat a lot of mosquitoes!
