Butterfly Net Moment 1
I can’t think of anyone who has ever managed to capture a field mouse that was trapped in a bathroom using a butterfly net. It was obviously as terrified as I was. No, no photos to prove it, I had my hands full. Here is one from a South African website:

It was a cute mouse with white stripes on its back. Probably the same one that was teasing our house-imprisoned cat, Caspian, by running back and forth along the side of the the glass sliding door. A mouse with a sense of humor deserves an open field and not a bathroom prison – or poison!
So I let it out at least 50 metres away from our door. No doubt it will find its way back to cause more mischief. 
Here is my silly doodle of it. haha

Of course it'll be back. We had a 'mouse' game with one in Ireland in the seventies. Every morning it had come down from the top of the house and fallen into the washing machine (one of those ones that open on top). We put it into jam jars and took it out with the car, every day a little further, and every morning it was back. :)
