Large-Red Damselfly(Pyrrhosoma Nymphula)

One of the gems of the Damselfly world,it can be seen throughout the summer

Not as plentiful at Brandon as it is at the nearby Ryton Woods,but with patience it can be seen.normally It’ll be found near the banks of the River Avon

its generally thought that this species emerges only from the River Avon,but i suspect that they also emerges from the nearby West Marsh Pool.this specimen is the first i have captured in 2013
