@rlewington2 @PhilSterling3 @henwood_barry I think that’s the right species name; one of the delicate pink/purple cultivars anyway, not one of the chunky yellow species.

Hi, I found this caterpillar in my garden in south London/Surrey VC17 in 2019. Do you think it’s safe to call it Striped Lychnis? It was on Verbascum phoeniceum.

It would be a very unexpected record, and at the time my CMR wanted me to rear it through to be sure (which I failed to do), but that was before your caterpillar book!

@BirdHybrids Had a quick check in my Japanese field guide, that is what the Japanese says.

@TriciaLockwood God, it all sounds terrifying, I’m glad he’s doing better.

@MooseAllain I like ‘lingerie’ which we pronounce in a ‘French’ way that has no vowel sounds in common with actual French.

I assumed it would only be a matter of time before Musk killed off third-party Twitter clients because a) he’s a control freak b) advertising is the business model and c) he’s flailing. But if it *is* a permanent change that might be time up for me.

NEW NHS STATS: The number of people waiting more than 4 hours in England A&Es has jumped by +100,000 in a single month.

Here's how those figures have changed since 2010:

NEW: Absolutely eye-watering figures from NHS England this morning.

The number of people waiting more than 12 hours on a trolley for a proper hospital bed has risen 44% in a single month.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

I got a knife for Christmas so I’ve been going around finding out what’s cake or not. Most things aren’t cake so far.

[Harry Rutherford @HeracliteanFire]

This one is actually pretty great.

[Harry Rutherford @HeracliteanFire]

Happy Christmas!
