Ode-vent Day 9


There are also two red damselflies and, again, the larger species is the commoner of the two.  This Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) is one of our earliest species to appear, in April and May, the peak time for the much scarcer Small Red Damselfly, which has an all-red body, being July and August.
