The early mist in Loughor visualised all the Garden spider (Araneus diademata) webs. At the National Botanical Gardens Wales, the Autumn saffron (Colchicum autumnale) with its medical function was much in evidence. There was also a display of mighty vegetables (including carrots and leeks) and a bunch of insects were 'making hay' (especially on Ivy flowers- also the case in Bynea) in the late sunshine. The insects included the Honey bee (Apis mellifera), the Common wasp (Vespa vulgaris), the Yellow dungfly (Scatophagia stercoraria) and the fly Polietes lardaria. There were a whole bunch of hoverflies including Eristalis tenax, Helophilus pendulus and Melanostoma scalare. A male diving beetle (Acillus sulcatus) missed a small water body.
