@TarkabarkaHolgy Lidl supermarket sold mole traps in Northern Ireland. The island of Ireland does not have moles. Endearing critters.

@beratterskan Yep, they pick all kinds of animals and plants of the year, but Mammal is usually very popular :)

@TarkabarkaHolgy love this! Our historical landscapes (landskap) all have a animal, insect, mineral and mushroom that connects with the flora and fauna of that landscape. But it is not a big thing, this sounds like an amazing way to highlight and bring attention to the enormous!

@beratterskan It is pretty fun :) Plus it gives me a lot to work with as a storyteller
