No - we have a wax moth research colony. We do have a research apiary here too, so can chat with the manager there if there’s anything we can try collect?
Not big here on pointlessly pinning wild samples so fully agree, but we have lots of lab moths we dispose of. If they could be of use would be happy to send.

Ooh congrats, whereabouts? And good luck, let us know if you need a greater wax moth and can pop one in the post!

Haha, ideally to someone with identical shaped trotters too!

look like they'll last a while, hope breaking them in is nice and easy!

I think he's a one man band, as always got emails direct from him - really helpful through the entire process so would definitely recommend!

These arrived yesterday from Jadd. First pair of proper shoes I’ve bought new, as always second hand before, and most I’ve spent on a pair by a long way which was a bit scary.
That said, they fit great and once broken in should be excellent. Really solidly built and have nice close fitting heel and roomy forefoot.

fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. At least they're having these conversations before the technology is mature or has progressed to the stage it can be implemented.

I think flipside of this is that a first time buyer will likely have sunk all their available cash into deposit and house, so having to pay for new roof/major repairs because your ceiling/wall is pissing water isn’t a small ask when you don’t have the money.

Ooh, worth the venture out over Glen's kitchen?
I fully get that, plus it’s an invaluable genetic resource to look at things like cryptic speciation, new phylogenies and adaptive mechanisms - all of which essentially you have decades/centuries of snapshots of thanks to collections. What the NHM/Sanger are doing with the Darwin tree of life project is amazing too.
