The Garden Large Red Damselflies

And in the hot weather, we had our large red damselflies around. They came in sparsely at first, only one, which iddnt tend to stick around, but by the end of the hot spell, we had four at once, and another had been eaten by frogs, so 5 overall, including ovipositing pairs and territory holding males, which were all great to watch as they went about their lives on the pond. we had pairs ovipositing in the top and bottom ponds, but we only had one female over the two weeks, which would have been a problem for the 3 males at any one time.
