This little critter was busy digging up one of my hanging planters before I interrupted him. You can see the bits of potting soil on his chin and just under. My presence didn't bother him much because after I took a couple of shots he continued digging until I jiggled the planter a bit and then he scurried off.
I would have chased him away, maybe even before I took my pictures of him. I wouldn't want him to ruin my plants. But he is a cute guy and would have lured him to someplace where he would not harm them.
