Yikes! It regenerates if cut into pieces and it secretes tetrodotoxin: what's not to like (if you're writing a horror story)?

@cstross

The facts that they were first discovered in #KewGardens, are invasive here too, population maps show them as most prevalent in Scotland, and they like Scotland's cooler climate and garden centres?

Or that the case invented by British naturalist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward is considered to have been a major enabler of their spread around the planet (carried via samples transported to botanical gardens) during the 19th century?

Sleep tight. (-:
