 Large Red Damselfly |
Dragonflies and Damselflies These used to be only occasional
visitors to the garden and more often than not it would be the Azure Damselfly.
However since putting in a small pond (2m x 1m at the extremes), we have seen at
least 7 varieties with at least 2 reproducing and living as nymphs in the pond
(Broad Bodied Chaser and the Southern Hawker). This year (2005) I have counted
15 empty carcases from which the Dragonfly has emerged and I am sure to have
missed nearly that amount.
