Children bugs life

Its the time of year for bugs to start going into hibernation.  At last the mosquitos are starting to tire of biting and the lizards and geckos are all busy chasing each other.  We have some wonderful bug hunts here with our guests who love to see what we can find.  Today was a real treasure with a snakes skin coming out of a hole in the wall.  Our friendly snake (grass snake so harmless) must have decided to get out of the sun and shed its skin somewhere cool.  They are often lying along the edge of the stone walls and they seem to use the wall to help them to 'scratch' off the old skin.  It must be one for our children to take into school and show everyone before our guests can take some home if they would like.
