The Scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis) was acting as a barometer in Loughor where I also got a better view of the ground-nesting bee Dasypoda altercator. The nettles there had developed populations of Phyllobius pomaceus beetles and a ladybird (Calvia 14-guttata) was active. A Cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) came to my light. In Bynea, Common green shield bug (Palomena prasina) were mating and the Snipe fly (Rhagio scolopacea) was about. A Viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara) sunbathed on a branch.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
