Seeing the Changes 379

In Bynea, Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) was in flower and little Common froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) were 'spitting' away. Another night of moth trapping in Loughor generated more Cockchafers and Hebrew character moths but also produced a male Muslin moth (Diaphora mendica) and a Smoky wave (Scopula ternata). The day also generated a hunting Zebra spider (Salticus scenicus).

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