There are killer jars?
For Butterflies. Obviously.
( Why do we call them BUTTERflies????? )
I always thought flutterby was a better name for them. And indeed, as a small child insisted that was what they were called. It seemed logical to my 3yr old self and i thought the grown ups had it wrong. I still call them that to myself today.
butterfly - Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Middle English buterflie, butturflye, boterflye, from Old English butorflēoge, buttorflēoge, buterflēoge (from butere (“butter”)), equivalent to butter + fly. Cognate with Dutch botervlieg, German Butterfliege (“butterfly”). The name may have originally been applied to butterflies of a yellowish color, and/or reflected a belief that butterflies ate milk and butter (compare German Molkendieb (“butterfly”, literally “whey thief”) and Low German Botterlicker (“butterfly”, literally “butter-licker”)), or that they excreted a butter-like substance (compare Dutch boterschijte (“butterfly”, literally “butter-shitter”)). Compare also German Schmetterling from Schmetten (“cream”), German Low German Bottervögel (“butterfly”, literally “butter-fowl”). More at butter, fly.
An alternate theory suggests that the first element may have originally been butor- (“beater”), a mutation of bēatan (“to beat”).[1]
Superseded non-native Middle English papilion (“butterfly”) borrowed from Old French papillon (“butterfly”).
I have ordered one as my old katadyn filter was out of date and also we can't get iodine tablets any more.Put in an order for a water filter.
My jars have finaly arrived and I must correct myself.
They are Ball jars not kilner (killer
).
They work the same as kilner jars though.
Ready for the crops to mature to fill them now.

How many pumps do they take, I often wondered about one of those, I bought the 2240 co2 pistol instead. Got shoulder stock for it. I also have the xl ratcatcher rifle, I had the rabbitstopper but sold it just before free ads stopped taking gun adverts.I ordered a Crosman 1377 yesterday and a couple of custom parts for it today! Trigger finger is getting a bit itchy during lockdown so going to have to use the back garden instead of a range!

I have ordered a Grayl filter. Hope to use it in the woods but wonder if it works down the pub turning bad beer into good!
Between 3 and 10 pumps but there
seem to be plenty on the internet taking them up to 20 pumps! Still waiting for arrival at the gunshop as parcel force seem a little slow at the moment.

Just be glad it's not Hermes; they are the most useless courier out there - they have managed to lose 5 parcels in 4 weeks. They have not delivered a single parcel to us in two months and cannot give any reason at all!
Funny, Hermes is one of the better ones for us and during the lockdown the local delivery guy has been great.
I might have ordered two SAKs just now and I've got a catapult on the way. You lot are not helping!
Actually, in the past, the local guy was great - the problem seems to be in the management and the depot which for us is Deeside (actually quite a long way away).
