Anyone going to these shows, if you have the time, maybe take some photos of some of the more unusual or interesting sights. Or jot down some thoughts to share here. Maybe new pets you are adding to your family.

I am guessing that you will see some of the same things we would see in our countries and likely something different.

My wife has already booked the 25th of September off work for the Eastern show.

Glasgow would be closest to me, but still involves a sea trip...

I wonder if the Northern Ireland Protocol means I can still shove a bunch of bugs in a bag and take them through the airport like I used to.

Probably not.

I'll be in Taunton on Sunday :) I'll be sure to get a photo or two at the very least.
I don't have anything specific on my wishlist but hoping to find some pretty millipedes :)

Came away with a couple more things.
I missed out on a p.rufilata last time, so happy I could pick one up today.

Nice! Congratulations. And thanks for the pictures. I have missed the past few shows near me. I may try to go to one in early April. Until then I can live vicariously through others.
