The eastern harvest mouse is a species of cricetid mouse found in North America. It is small, one of the smallest rodents in the world, with a short, slender tail and brown fur. It is found in grassy fields, brier patches, roadside ditches, and marshlands. Its diet consists of weed seeds, green plants, insects, and possibly the larvae of moths and butterflies. The mouse builds a baseball-sized, globular nest of shredded grasses and plant fibers several centimeters above the ground in upright water plants or the tangled vegetation beneath fences. The mouse is nocturnal, does not store food, and does not hibernate. Pregnancies are frequent, litter size is two to four, and the young attain adulthood in approximately seven weeks. Predators include snakes, barn owls, and small carnivores such as foxes. Lifespan is believed to be less than a year.
