Lots happening around the Bynea cycle path with the flowering of White melilot (Melilotus alba). I also noted a Common green shield bug (Palomina prasina) and active Black garden ants (Lasius niger). A cyanide-impregnated Six-spot burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) refueled at a Creeping thistle. Poison-incorporating larvae were also active with Depressaria daucella feasting in its hammock on Hemlock and Cinnabar moth munching Ragwort.
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.
