It's complex. There are relatively few self-sustaining ones - the Moorheads
(to use a very recent post) might be one, but most twitchers seem destined
to have their "species" - at least as twitchers - die out.
Fortunately very few are in captivity but many (including me) would be ship
or air assisted to get here.
Your total "twitcher twitch" score is probably obtained by adding up the
count for each individual twitcher that you see.
