Re: [soooo OT] Ants

["Stuart Poulton" <stuart.poulton@xxxxxxx>]

For interest here's the paragraph from the RoyalMail website

"Living Creatures

Certain living creatures are accepted only if enclosed in packs constructed
so as to prevent injury to Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide staff, its
agents or damage to other parcels. The following are accepted: bees;
silkworms; leeches and certain parasites, destroyers of noxious pests, and
other insects sent to or from officially recognised institutions. In
addition the following may be sent to destinations within the United
Kingdom - mealworms, earthworms, caterpillars, ragworms, pupae and
chrysalids, lugworms, maggots and fish fry and eggs. "
