There was a sudden expulsion of Common froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) in their 'spit' and a late Brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni) flitted. Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) revealed its poisonous self in Loughor.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues.

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.
