Seeing the Changes 1692

Some non-Lepidopteran highlights at Crymlyn burrows today. Wild migonette (Reseda lutea) was in bloom. In the dunes, snails crawled up Juncus reeds. A hunting spider (Xysticus cristatus) lurked on Wild carrot and a Sloe bug (Dolycoris baccarum) buried its head in a Hemp agrimony flower.

The name 'Armadillo' is simply derived from a Spanish word, meaning "little armoured one".
