White-legged Damselfly

02 Jun 2011 262
The White-legged Damselfly ( Platycnemis pennipes ) only appeared in Cheshire in 2007 when the first specimens were seen on the Dee around Farndon. The species has probably migrated northward from the Severn where there are good populations. A walk at Farndon this afternoon proved that they are still present when I spotted this teneral female on the riverbank.
