Lawn Shrimp


One of the things that I love about living in the kiwi countryside is all the weird creatures that I find - wetas, frogs, skinks...

And one of the things that I hate about living in the kiwi countryside is all the weird creatures that I find in the house - book lice, ants, pantry moths...

Luckily this little fella was in the chickens' water trough and not in the kitchen. Although I found him in water, this lawn shrimp is actually a landlubber. An Australian native, this creature is a crustacean but drowns in water and turns pink when dead.

Whatever next?
