I went to the Pitts River museum in Oxford a years ago and there was several boards with bugs pinned to themThis tiny wee guy spotted in the yard. As bright as a Christmas bauble but smaller than an oat. Nature is wonderful! View attachment 1052662
More maintainance once the tails get very fat, and need little trolleys on wheels to haul 'em?More for the maggots to get into?
All creatures have something to offer us i think----- this one is meant to be taste/texture/fat type ---& they're pretty ---if i was to ever consider entering the livestock showing game these would have to be the breed for meDon't float my boat I'm afraid

Your camera? My 'phone too . Although it sometimes lives a life of it's own . If I haven't spoken to somebody in my "Contacts " for a time it will ring them up ! Quite out of the blue > Well , that's my excuse anyway when I have to say I didn't mean to ring .A pen of Fat-tailed Sheep (Damara?) at the Sheep Event, all the way from Anglesey. My camera was in a megasulk, so no photos, sorry, but if anyone took a pic and would like to share it, I'd love to see them in detail.
I'll sell you one in a few years when you want to join me in the showing gameEach to their own
Gadgets tend not to like heat, or damp, do they ~ unless specifically designed for those conditions. My phone definitely plays up in the heat, proof being that it's in a better mood this week compared with last.Your camera? My 'phone too . Although it sometimes lives a life of it's own .

All this about cameras reminds me that I have a very good camera stashed away somewhere - haven't seen it for years now . But it got me thinking , I'll guarantee that there will be a memory card in it with photos of past holidays with the OH . I just wonder if I dare look it out ?Gadgets tend not to like heat, or damp, do they ~ unless specifically designed for those conditions.

My worry about the camera (waterproof, and made for ruggedness) was accidentally damaged when lent to someone for their holiday, leaving it with damage to its optics or electrics. Every photo has a blur or shadow that "rest" and a silicone pack hasn't altered. Annoying, because I wanted video of the underside of a peregrine falcon earlier in the week. It hovered almost directly above me as I had a walk before driving home, but the camera didn't want to play.
