In partnership with WWT we will be launching a new Dragonfly Hotspot at WWT London Wetland Centre.

This nature reserve and its incredible mosaic of wetland habitat is also home to a rich diversity of insect life, with 26 species of dragonfly and damselfly!

Species include:

• Hairy Dragonfly, Brachytron pratense
• Small Red-eyed Damselfly, Erythromma viridulum
• Willow Emerald Damselfly, Chalcolestes viridis.
• Norfolk Hawker, Anaciaeschna isosceles
• Scarce Chaser, Libellula fulva

Interpretation boards, will be installed with educational resources, about the amazing life of the Dragonflies at London Wetland Centre.

Join us for the Dragonfly Hotspot launch on Sunday 9th July and learn all about these amazing insects from the British Dragonfly Society. We are also lucky to have dragonfly expert Dave Smallshire joining us on the day and running two guided walks:
