Seeing the Changes 13



Visited by a Brindled beauty (Lycia hirtaria) moth. Contacted by the local media about a white spider that was found in a Swansea house. From the vague description, it sounded like the Crab spider (Misumena vatia), the female of which lurks on flowers in order to pounce on their insect visitors (flies and butterflies).

The Comma butterfly ( Polygonia c-album) gets its name from the punctuation-like mark, on the underside of its wings.
