    Q2 - the list of names of the plants represented by the green shapes?
    Q3b - branches used for enclosure enrichment cannot be from a toxic plant type - even this could be dangerous.
    Q4b - what about a truncheon? Please add!
    Q5 - nice - can you explain the nets' function please
    Q6 - insects both above and below the ground(eg cutworms)and the 4th method is 'integrated' where methods are combined for greater effectiveness
    Please be aware that your portfolio will require the detail you have not put into these entries...
