A man catches field mice in Yiyang City near Dongting Lake, Central China's Hunan Province in July 2007. People living in communities surrounding a Dongting Lake have been overrun by field mice after floodwaters drove the rodents out of islands on the lake. An estimated 2 billion mice are ravaging crops in 22 counties around the lake, and authorities were rushing to construct walls and ditches to keep the rodents out. [Hu Hua/Rednet.cn]
