Large Red Damselfies are starting to emerge

Down at Frog End in Devon, the first Large Red Damselflies are out now.

In my pond the larvae are nearly ready to emerge – you can see the red of the adult body through the larval skins.

Last year I saw my first on 9th May – so should be any time now.

Thanks to Jo’s mum for the picture of the unlikely threesome of frog, fish and grass snake.
