Seeing the Changes 1587

In Loughor, the alien Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) was in bloom. In Bynea, Vervain (Verbena officinalis) made an appearance. Also in that second location, Black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) infested more than its share of Creeping thistle and Common green capsids (Lygocoris pabulinus) sucked the plantains. In addition, first instar Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) larvae hatched on ragwort, whilst an imago carried on the good work. Bynea was where Speckled wood (Parage aegeria) butterflies scrapped and Small tortoiseshells (Aglais urticae) made a late appearance.
