Thanks Pat,

If Tony Irwin has a spare square inch or two in his room and can take them (if you're going to Norwich that is!) then that would be great but only if Tony is agreeable...? I don't like to ask too much of Tony as he always seems to end up doing me favours!

Just in case - is anyone throwing out any drawers or boxes of damaged butterflies? Preferably still not with live pests within! Reason I am asking is that they are ideal for my insect repair courses that I may soon be undertaking.

I cannot come miles to collect but if they can be somehow got to me via meetings &c, that would be great!
