Linda,

Shrews are carnivores with a very high metabolism.
They will starve if they go without food for very long and are very veracious and will
kill and attack animals larger than themselves. Since they are so small that doesn't
mean very big, but just the same.

I would consider them an asset to my garden, but I tend to be the type that has
copies of animal and plant guidebooks for both sides of the USA.

I have found several of these. I understand they eat bugs. They are not a rodent. Does anyone know these?. I think in the east they are common.

According to our wildlife dept in AZ I don't think they are suppose to live here. Not sure why. ? But if they are insect eaters, they sound beneficial to my yard.

Anyone familiar or give me more personal insight into this little thing. It's only about 2-3 inches.

Seems harmless enough to my iris as best I can figure.
