We just need it in VC64 now, then it will be in all Yorkshire VCs. No tansy or sneezewort nearby so I don't know where it has come from.16 Jul 2025 12:43 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3lu3gy4kxq22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3ltwp4hnd422jThe migrant influx continues. Bedstraw Hawk-moth last night at Ellingstring, North Yorkshire @migrantmothuk.bsky.social14 Jul 2025 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltwp4hnd422jhttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3lt4wani6o22eFor all those who send me specimens for dissection, I am not accepting any more for the next two months. I've had to pay postage-due charges several times this year, and the latest has cost me a fiver - no stamp on at all. If it continues, I will levy a charge. A fiver a moth sounds reasonable.04 Jul 2025 09:23 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt4wani6o22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3lsnn4ctxmk23Well done!
