Another first for me, as a large red damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula came into our garden. I haven’t photographed one before; in fact although it is a common species, I’m not totally sure I have even seen one before. There are only two red damselfly species in the UK, the large and the small – the large is one of the first to emerge, and halfway through May is about as early as it gets, so a real trailblazer this one! In the photo below, it has its wings spread slightly and the shadow in the bright sun makes it look as if it has eight wings. I’d just like to clear up the point – it hasn’t. Four is the absolute limit for a damselfly.
