[nhssecretary]

Can't get closer

I've been doing the recycling
It is messy and I am bricking it
Does it bite

Ahh www.freeart.com/art/prints/baby-bat/all/

It looks like a shield bug to me though picture isn’t clear. Glass and card and put in garden. Job done.

So cute!!

Definitely something already squashed- look at the stain around it!

Wis( it had been a bat though. Bat on a strawberry is very optimistic, OP!

I'm going in to check

If I don't come back I died on this mission for you women...

Wait, I don't want it to be a bug.
What is a shield bug

It's a strawberry

Just as well you didn’t ring the bat helpline

No it's not a stinky Martin

baby fruit bat

@HopeGarden

I can imagine

"Lady you need to clean your wall, it is FILTHY"

All these bat pics

Aww! I so wanted it to be a bat.

Maybe it's a baby fruit bat.

That could be a recently emerged moth, not the kind that eats clothes. Leave it for a couple of hours and it should become more recognisable then flutter off.

Omg does that baby bat have a dummy??? Awwww I think I'm broody! Is that possible over a bat picture? I mean I know I can't pregnant with a bat obviously.

Bats don't have long thin legs like that, though! I thought that was just the pattern on the wallpaper myself. So is it definitely a strawberry then?

I've uploaded too many photos
I'll show you the mouldy strawberry tomorrow

Time to go continue cleaning

Thank you everyone this has made me smile

Not shield bug. Not vine weevil.

Kaytee, imagine if you had a baby bat

I am broody too. Must be the eyes.

that would be one baby I wouldn't attempt to breastfeed!

They are born with teeth I think

Really, get a largish glass and a stiff bit of card like a postcard, put the glass over it on the wall, slide the card under the glass and - let's pretend it's a mini-bat or a tired bee - thus trapping the BatBee in the glass. Carry the trap carefull to a counter or table and put the shebang down, card down. Never look at it again, or at least don't look until dh gets home and can take over.

It is possible to become quite fond of these things, you know.
