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.
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.
