Merry ol' England

So what did I do in England? The time has come to reveal all!

I am part of a UN sponsored program that looks at how to better understand flies that prey on livestock. Things like tsetse flies and flesh flies like screw worm (which lays magots into the wounds of things like cattle and sheep). 

First some quick proof that I was in in England.

Here is Big Ben!

and Westminster Abbey:

and some scenes from the Tower of London:

For only a second I was trapped in the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West:

Here's me at the British Museum:

 Which I came to see the Rossetta Stone! And there it was!

And as a plus there were other cool things!

The actual meetings were at the Natural History Museum. Where you could see a stuffed Dodo!

 Er . . . I mean this stuffed Dodo:

And have a diplodocus smile at you:

And I got to learn dinosaurs were big!

Now I was there for some  meetings, here are some pictures of the back rooms of the Natural History Museum, the group, and some highlights. In the last two pictures are insects collected by Alfred Russell Wallace and another Naturalist, look closely at the label to see who it was collected by!

And there were collected during Captain Cooks Voyage in the 1700s!

Tomorrow more adventure!
