Found my assistant taking a siesta in a pot under a bench.

Yes, a young Echidna I heard crashing around in the old shadehouse.
 
Oh, I thought one of your cacti toppled off its bench. :)

When we first moved in our new place, we had a minor ant problem. My wife was curious if anteaters make good pets?
 
Any chance you could train that critter to eat mealy bugs and scale??? If so, you could make a mint exporting them to orchid growers :)
 
Nice Roy. Echidna's aren't something you see a lot. I have done a lot of bushwalking over the years and have only encountered them on a handful of occasions. For those outside Australia, when you come across an Echidna they normally bury themselves into the soil with just there spikes protruding. They are very difficult to dislodge when they do this. They are like a rock.
