Description
The Large Red Damselfly is widespread in the UK, this species ( Pyrrhosoma nymphula) has a red abdomen with dark markings towards the end. Males tend to be more vibrant. It is often the first damselfly to be seen in spring, from late March.
The male is aggressive, fighting off other males entering his territory. Damselflies rest with their wings folded lengthways along their body (unlike dragonflies, which rest with wings outspread).
