I like many insects, the butterfly especially. But I have hardly seen any butterflies this spring or this summer. Are there any insects in my garden? There is something on this plant. Cuckoo spit. It's not spit in fact and there is no cuckoo. There is an insect sheltered in it - a spittlebug. It is not beautiful like a butterfly!

Nebes geryow A few words

cog (f) cuckoo

dres ehen especially, particularly

en gwrionedh in truth, in fact < gwir true (SWFM yn gwiryonedh)

And here's another bit of a lesson for practice.
