LARGE RED DAMSELFLY
- Pyrrhosoma nymphula
Photographed in my garden
Widespread in the UK, this species 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.
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 )
Not sure what it is , any input from insects lovers out there? Finally got it it , it's a longhorn bee .
