New Species - Large Red Damselfly


This was considerably easier to identify (than the Azure Damselfly) given that there are only two red damselflies and one is restricted to heathland in Southern England and Wales. This brings the species of Odonata (Dragonflies) firmly identified to five: Southern Hawker, Common Darter, Broad-bodied Chaser, Azure Damselfly and Large Red Damselfly. I hope I can add a couple of species to that list this summer.
