Other insects of the dunes of Saint-Trojan-les-Bains included wood-devouring ants (Camponotus vagus); grasshoppers (Sphingonotus caerulans); bees (Xylocopa violacea); impaled hoverflies (Helophilus pendulus); Forest bugs (Pentatoma rufipes); ladybirds (Subcoccinella 24-punctata) and numerous dragonflies (Common darters- Sympetrum striolatum). Many of which, presumably attractive to Sand lizards (Lacerta agilis).
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.
