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.

Seeing the Changes 1649
Much more activity in the Loughor garden moth trap last night. Various assorted pugs and 3 moths that were difficult to identify. Eleven Willow beauty (Peribatoides rhomboidaria); 2 Large yellow underwing (Noctua pronuba); 2 Heart and dart (Agrostis exclamationis); a single Herald (Scoliopteryx libratrix) and a single Pale tussock (Calliteara punipunda).

Moths get a lot of bad press, personally I like moths.

There's not much of a difference between moths and butterflies (in the same insect group). I think it's just a few 'bad apples' like clothes moths accounting for the different attitudes. UK moths are much more diverse than butterflies (only just over 50 species in here).
