A series of marked hiking tracks crosses Ville sur Sarre, and so I could quickly leave the road and walk into the fields. The tracks meander through agricultural fields, hedges, little snippets of uncultivated land, and forest. The track I followed on various days quickly ascends the mountain slope, to end after a km or so onto a dirt road. The dirt road winds through forest to end at a tarmac road. From the dirt road, some tracks lead to scraps of used land. I walked the dirt road a couple of times, and explored the side tracks, too. On the 28th I walked back to Ville sur Sarre along the dirt road after some moderate rainfall. Many insects hide for the rain, and so you have to carefully search for insects. Because of this, you sometimes find species that you might normally overlook. This way I found a female of Acrocera sanguinea, one of those flies dipterologists can get pretty excited about (fun fact: their larvae parasitize on spiders!). So despite the rain this wasn't a lost day. |
