Seeing the Changes 1833

At Crymlyn Burrows noted Eyebright (Euphrasia officinallis); Hogweed (Heracieum sphondylium); Bladder campion (Silene vulgaris); Marsh woundwort (Stachys palustris) and Bristly ox-tongue (Picris echinoides) in bloom. Also spotted a first Six-spot Burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) pupa; a possible Pyrausta despictata moth; a Small copper (Lycaena phlaeas) and more Dark Green fritillary (Mesoacidalia aglaja) pics showing possible sexual dimorphism, frisky behaviour and feeding frenzy.
