Title: Damsel Flies
Post by: Hugh_Jones on May 12, 2004, 22:23:19
Saw the first damsel fly of the summer this afternoon.  Too late to see it actually emerge, but the old larva case was still attached to an iris leaf.

Great news Hugh - that means that mine won't be far behind.  :D

Do you know what type it was?

I get Large Red Damselflies here in Scotland.

I saw my first one today too.  It was a little red one and there was also a clear one tinged with blue.

They should be up in Scotland by the weekend, Eileen:)
