News: First Banded Demoiselle seen earlier than usual

Wednesday, 5th June 2019

Last Wednesday, Jennifer H saw the first Banded Demoiselle damselfly of this year, in her garden. Jennifer commented -

" It is unusually early in the year for the demoiselle, since they are normally only seen here from July.  I have also never seen one in my garden before, I usually see them by the Millennium footbridge"


Further information on this fabulously coloured, iridescent damselfly can be found on the British Dragonfly Society and Wildlife Trust websites:
