Little buggers! But I guess a squirrel's gotta eat too!

Funny photos of the squirrel eating your hibiscus flowers. The squirrels love my bird food too much to bother my hibiscus plant.

October 17, 2010 at 5:26 PM

At least you know they are eating well!

October 17, 2010 at 6:33 PM

Your Mosaic is priceless! I was going to photograph in the woods but the bears have changed my mind, not to mention the large "pussy cat". Snap you are a zoo goer, so come on up, we can safari!

October 17, 2010 at 6:46 PM

Aha! Squirrels! Love'em and hate'em. That is one bee-u-tifull hibiscus; gorgeous color!

October 17, 2010 at 7:01 PM

Great capture! You caught him red handed!

October 17, 2010 at 7:15 PM

Wow, great shots. Lovely color on that flower, but you know squirrels, they will eat anything. xox Corrine

I can't imagine why they would eat the flowers! That's just weird! Don't think I've ever seen squirrels eating flowers before. Maybe you need a little netting!

Who knew?! Little blighters!

I've never seen a squirrel eat a flower before! Hibiscus flowers must be tasty. I usually find the squirrels hanging off my bird feeder trying to eat all the sunflower seeds :)

October 17, 2010 at 7:50 PM

Oh my goodness...caught in the act! There is a similar hibuscus outside my mother's care center door --so far still alive and well.

Cracks me up! We also have squirrels in the backyard...this was such a well done mosaic.

October 17, 2010 at 8:01 PM

They can be pesky but I've never seen them eating flowers before!

October 17, 2010 at 8:04 PM

Love the squirrels! Cute mosaic. Have a great week, and hope you stop by and visit me too! Sandi

October 17, 2010 at 8:06 PM

What a hoot! That's a first for me, the bloom must be as tasty as it is pretty :-)

October 17, 2010 at 8:10 PM

Talk about being caught red handed! They can be little devils.

October 17, 2010 at 8:10 PM

Those little rat bast***s!!! lol Thanks for sharing at MM. :)

Cheeky little fellow ... obviously a squirrel with a sweet tooth! Your mosaic is just brilliant ... great shots!

October 17, 2010 at 8:26 PM

Love/hate! I all depends on their activities, of course ;) I've seen them bite off a tulip and carry into a tree to eat! Great shots, though and you've got to appreciate their resourcefulness!

October 17, 2010 at 8:27 PM

Hi Snap!! Oh, how funny and cute! I had no idea squirrels would eat hibiscus blooms! :) We have a hibiscus bush too and we have squirrels but the two haven't met yet! :)
What a precious mosaic.
Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,

Oh Snap! Those little pests! They are shaking the pecan trees in our yard and then jumping on the falling pecans. Sure made a cute mosaic, tho! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Jack In The Basket...Sue

October 17, 2010 at 8:42 PM

OH NO! Squirrels can be so naughty sometimes!

October 17, 2010 at 8:49 PM

Sorry that the squirrels have been doing such a number, but it does make for a great mosaic with those complementary grays and pinks. :D

October 17, 2010 at 8:58 PM

Oh, you caught him in the act. What wonderful photos. I love it!!!

October 17, 2010 at 9:05 PM

Little Stinkers! Between the rabbits and deer, we haven't been able to plant a garden in years.

We had a HUGE squirrel population too, until a pair of coyotes moved into the neighborhood. Not so many since then.

I have a neighbor who puts silk flowers in pots on her stoop - that must really confound the animals, huh?

Oh my - I try to love the squirrels, but they wreak such havoc!! Poor beautiful hibiscus!!!

October 17, 2010 at 9:09 PM

great mosaic! Cute squirrel...sorry about your beautiful Hibiscus.

October 17, 2010 at 10:03 PM

Oh My Gosh..... I know that squirrels can be destructive --but that is terrible. I got so upset with the squirrels this past winter for eating the buds off of our Rhododendron ---that I wanted to find a sling shot --or something... ha ha

Seems like the squirrels will eat most anything... Darn them!!!
Hugs,

I have squirrels eating everything, but have not seen one eating my flowers. I would be tempted to kill it if I did.

October 17, 2010 at 11:14 PM

He seems to be enjoying himself at your expense.

October 18, 2010 at 6:04 AM

Awesome! I didn't know squirrels eat flowers, and I thought they only go after nuts!

October 18, 2010 at 6:47 AM

they are so adorably but yet can be so disruptive! great shots!

October 18, 2010 at 7:23 AM

Oh dear! Caught red handed! My sister had all her geraniums eaten by deers...

October 18, 2010 at 10:05 AM

Now I know why there were fresh and young flowers on the ground! Squirrels...

October 18, 2010 at 10:53 AM

Snap,
Never knew they liked anything but acorns. Great shots.

The color in that blossom is gorgeous! And that little guy/gal sure looks like he's enjoying every bit of it.

October 18, 2010 at 10:02 PM

Great mosaic!

This is such a fun post-- has everyone thinking.

Great job.

Caught in the act! Great action shots of the squirrel. I never knew hibiscus was an edible treat. I've heard of eating pansies and nasturtiums but never hibiscus. The things you learn when you read!
