My first damselfly sightings of the year were made today at Anderton Nature Park. Three species were seen including plenty of Large Red Damselflies ( Pyrrhosoma nymphula ).

Female Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) at Newchurch Common in Cheshire. Close examination of the image reveals that she has two mites attached to her lower abdomen.
