A host of Alice's tea-party (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

march hare

(Other definitions for march hare that I've seen before include "Animal in state of wild behaviour, starting with 3rd month?" , "One in Tea Party" , "Ditto" , "Proverbially mad creature" , "madness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
