Seeing the Changes 409

Lots of activity around Loughor. Tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum), Enchanter's nightshade (Circaea lutetiana) and Common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) were in flower. The controllers of hedges simply blitzed the vegetation. Noted a canniblastic Flesh fly (Sarcophaga carnaria) as well as being visited by a Light emerald moth (Campaea margaritata) and an Ichneumon fly (Amblyteles armatorius). A Six-spot burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) was a road traffic victim on Loughor Bridge.
