    Well, Gammarus Pulex is going to be my next avatar name, for sure. Straight out of HGTTG.

    Well I just googled your next avatar @Fire and (as you do) came across the common yabby!
    I'll stick with Woodgreen though....

    Gammarus Pulex was on last night's final Autumn Watch. What a great name for a character or a Doctor Suess book!

    The Common Yabby - a bright blue crayfish with the great Latin name of Cherax destructor.  :D MMA wrestler? Asterix boar fighter? Trumpian hydrogen bomb?  Hopefully coming now where near UK shores.

    Loved the Gammarus piece, such a fascinating bit of science.
