Seeing the Changes 297









Smooth sow-thistle (Sonchus oleraceus) and Vervain (Verbena officinalis) were both prominent in Loughor. A Lily beetle (Liloceris lilii) was spotted in the garden. There was a very wasp-like hoverfly (Chrysotoxum cautum) and a Rhagonycha fulva beetle by the river. In Bynea, the larva of a Drinker moth (Philudoria potatoria), a Small skipper (Thymelicus flavus) butterfly and a Cantharis rustica beetle were seen. In Penclacwydd, there were what appeared to be the larvae of the Yellow tail moth (Euproctis similis) feeding on Alder.
