The UK is home to 20 species of Damselfly (Zygoptera) that breed in the UK. Alongside Dragonflies, the Damselflies make up the order Odonata. These predatory insects are known for their fascinating life cycles, dazzling colours and impressive flight abilities.
Over 2 webinars, Dave Smallshire (author of Britain’s Dragonflies) will explore the damselfly species that call the UK home. Part 1 will take place on 02 October 24 and focus on the Demoiselle, Emerald, Red and Red-eyed species of Damselflies. Part 2 will take place on 30 October 2024 and will focus on Blue Damselflies (including Blue-tailed Damselflies).
