Mum and babies

A female brown antechinus (also known as a 'Marsupial Mouse') and her babies were spotted in my yard recently. I was over the moon to see her and her little ones!

 

Antechinuses primarily eat insects and some wildflowers. I am so pleased to see that the rewilding of my garden with native, local plants is working to attract more insects, and in turn, other creatures they have co-evolved with over millions of years.
