Seeing the Changes 375

In Swansea, there were lots of Spanish bluebells (Endymion hispanicus), Ramsons (Allium ursinum), Meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris) and Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum). Common scurvy-grass (Cochlearia officinalis) was in bloom in Westcross. There were masses of Dandelion (Taraxacum spp) clocks on the shore at Blackpill as well as Common vetch (Vicia sativa) in flower. There was lots of Speckled wood (Pararge aegeria tircis) activity in Swansea and Loughor. There was also a Bee fly (Bombylius spp) in Swansea.

The name 'Armadillo' is simply derived from a Spanish word, meaning "little armoured one".
