Mystery Critter #48

P1300124

It’s baaa-ack!

After a mini vacation last week, the Mystery Critter has agreed to join us again. And, I’ve been told — to send a special hello to @ConsciousShopper @OCPlayParks’ kiddos!

So, without further ado, let’s put on our thinking caps and play. And remember — no cheating! ;-)

CRITTER CLUES:

  • I munch on butterflies, bees & caterpillars (yum!)
  • I can be hard to spot
  • I live in meadows, but you can also find me in your yard
  • Originally from Europe, I was accidentally introduced to North America in 1899
  • I am solitary

So, what am I?

Make your guess then go to eNature for the answer and more interesting facts.

Did you get it right?

If not, no worries. You will have another chance next week!

Whether you spot today’s Mystery Critter or not, there is always something amazing to see outdoors. Remember, you don’t have to venture far to be dazzled by wildlife. Just step outside with an eye for adventure — Mother Nature has something great waiting for you and the kids in your world.

And don’t forget! Join the Wildobs community and share your wild adventures with the world.

PS: This video of hummingbirds and how they can now film them is amazing! Enjoy!
