    I had no idea! I was at an indigenous event a little while ago and saw one of the vendors selling pinned insects and stuff. She had a bat and I was kinda interested.

      I kind of agree, but it’s the sort of thing that well meaning people gift me. So I’ve got some. To be honest, I’ve become attached to some of them.

      And I once had a landlord try to impress me with his collection of taxidermied fish. He made them himself! Not how I would have tried to impress a college student if I were in his place, but OK.

        I’m fascinated thinking about people that would gift taxidermy. They must be interesting 🙂

    We found a dead bat on holiday once. We went to a museum figuring they could use it and got free entry in exchange.

      Make sure it’s a legit antique at least. 😅 And get some bug traps.
