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.

An Oak eggar moth (Lasiocampa quercus) caterpillar sunbathed on the cycle track. Mullein moth (Cuculia verbasci) larvae had also eaten themselves out of house and home, with no new Great Mullein plant less than 0.5 miles away.
