In Loughor, the Redshank (Polygonia persicaria) is in flower and an almost black moth (possibly a Mottled beauty Alcis repandata repandata) came to the light. The fly Eustalomyia festiva mates. In Gorseinon, the hoverfly Syrphus ribesii and a female cuckoo bee Coelioxys inermis are active. A Phyllobius pomaceus beetle runs up and down nettles. In Bynea, a wasp Ammophilia subulosa searches for non-hairy caterpillars as well as White melilot (Melilotus alba), Square-stalked St John's wort (Hypericum tetrapterum) and Spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare) are coming into flower. The white version of the Slender thistle (Carduus tenuiflorus) is also out along with masses of Common valerian (Valeriana officinalis) and yellow Lucerne (Medicago sativa). Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) is also in flower and Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) has green berries.
