The combination of rain and hot weather seems to have stimulated moth activity in Loughor. We were invaded by The Magpie (Abraxus glossulariata), Scalloped oak (Crocallis elinguaria), Willow beauty (Peribatoides rhombodaria), July highflier (Hydriomena furcata) and Oak nycteoline (Nycteola reveyana). There were also masses of tiny Agriphila tristella.
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.
