Large red damselflies


These large red damselflies were photographed at  a large pond in Durham city. The eyes are amazing in this insect. So far, this is the only damselfly species that has bred in my small, weedy garden pond. Southern hawker dragonflies have paid visits on a few occasions, but no sign yet of any egg laying.
