Mynydd Caerau forestry paths are full of Angelica and other blooms and a good place to visit when you have little time to spare. I recorded 27 species here on Sunday. Rhingia rostrata was new for the year and other highlights included Eupeodes lapponicus, Leucozona laternaria and Melangyna umbellatarum. Highest numbers were again Meliscaeva cinctella (130), which seems to be king of the coniferous areas.
Other insect were headed by a Painted Lady butterfly and a Vapourer moth caterpillar as well as the Angelica feeding micro moth Phaulernis fulviduttella.
