Strange Visitor in the Night

Every night for the past 5 days or so we've had an unexpected visitor....a strange little fellow:


This photo is the top portion of one of the windows in our living room. Our house is an open concept (kitchen/living room/dining room is all one open space) and the walls are mostly filled with windows. This makes it rather challenging to place furniture and to hang pictures (no wall space) but it's really nice to be able to see nature everywhere you look.

The windows go from the floor to one foot below the ceiling, which makes all the windows eight feet high. That gives you an idea of how high this little guy has climbed...he's at the top so he's about eight feet in the air.

Every night he climbs up on the outside of the window to feast on the bugs that are attracted by the floor lamp we have on the inside of the window. These photos were taken from the inside looking out while he's on the outside looking in.

A strange, but most welcome visitor!

We had one of those on our windows in our old house. Funny to see. The kids loved it just sticking there.

In Austria (or at least, in the Tirol), a frog in your home is a good luck omen. This little guy wants you to let the good luck in :) that's why he's hanging on the window
