Seeing the Changes 181







On a sunny day in Loughor after overnight rain, the Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris), Hoary stock (Matthiola incana), Lords and ladies (Arum maculatum) and Spanish bluebell (Endymion hispanicus) blessed us with their presence. They were joined by the first Small white (Artogeia rapae) and Large white (Pieris brassicae) butterflies as well as Seven-spot ladybirds (Coccinella 7-punctata) of the year.
