Usutu virus which affects Blackbirds is now in Britain. It was first detected after a heatwave in 2020 and has spread across southern England since then.

It's a real-world example of how climate change could bring diseases to the UK through vectors like mosquitos which wouldn't have been found here previously.

Have we got Brown Recluses now? Last I heard we didn't, but then I'm hardly browsing Arachnid Monthly regularly.
False widows certainly can give a painful nip, although thankfully i've not experienced it. My garage is full of the bloody things though. |  |

I'm looking out for when Cordyceps adapts to be able to survive in a warmer environment, for example in a human host. Then the fun begins. |  |
