Occlupanids (bread clips) were once very common in my childhood, but it seems that in the UK they have largely been largely eliminated from bread bags (their presumed ancestral environment). I hadn’t seen one for years so it was with some nostalgic loss that I was browsing the website of the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group; such a rich body of knowledge, but lying now largely in the past for me.

Imagine my excitement when I found a contemporary occlupanid on some bunched beetroot in our shopping. Possibly environmental loss and other pressures have forced occlupanids into new niches for their kind.
