Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) -- Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) Body length: 25 - 30 mm The Large Red Damselfly has a synchronized emergence and is usually the first species to be recorded each year. It can be seen from mid April to early September. Males have a deep red coloration with a black and red-striped thorax and red abdomen. The thorax is yellow or yellow-striped on the underside in young specimens. Both sexes have red eyes, duller in females, and the female has more black on the abdomen. The Large Red Damselfly is not a very active species, preferring to spend most of its time flying around its territory and settling periodically on marginal and emergent vegetation around ponds and slow moving water. Mating takes place in marginal vegetation and the pair lay their eggs in tandem on submerged vegetation. Hope you like :o) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Evening Stroll" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen
