See you in March.

A worthy endeavor.
Maybe once your task is completed, you could help with that fish census.

They don't kill them, it just how they take a census of the habitat. They're very careful to fill the hole back in when their done to prevent altering the landscape too much. As long as the animals in the hole can breath the dirt the hole's filled in with they should be okay..............
Unless this is one of those corporate sponsored jobs and they just fill in the holes with concrete. Pretty sure the animals can't breath that too well. Oh, well. Darwin's Law, the dumb animals that fall in the hole get weeded out from the gene pool.

We only kill them if they've never been seen before. Then we get to name them after ourselves. I pity the poor little butterfly thats gonna get named b. wombatus or whatever. Still, should be a laugh.

Remember it may be spelled 'Antanarivo' but the locals don't pronounce it even remotely like that, more like 'Tanariv.

In the words of Bilbo Baggins.
I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.

How does a butterfly fall into a hole?
I guess I will never know, now that IW has gone now.

IW should do what I do, go away for a couple of weeks or months and make a little post like this.
