I think they were collected from a rocky riverbank on a hot sunny day at Linton in the Yorkshire Dales, but that's quite a hazy memory so could be wrong!
Tales from an English Coffee Drinker
I drink a lot of coffee (black no sugar), so much so that no matter what I'm doing I usually have a cup on hand. However, this isn't a blog just about coffee -- it's about anything I find interesting!

Insect Cases
When I blogged about my moth and butterfly collection, Helen noticed that there were some strange insect cases in one of the boxes that I hadn't mentioned. I can't remember what they are and there isn't a label in the box. Here is a better picture so that hopefully someone can help identify them for us.

Thanks for posting a better photo Mark. Now that I look at them properly I think they're probably stonefly exuviae. I've never seen one myself - they're wonderful. Thanks again.
Only Helen could say they were wonderful! I suspect her identification is correct.
Perhaps interesting is more the word I'd use!
