Damselflys, good for gardens?
((X Posted))
Noticed on our new allotment that we have an enormous number of Damselflies flying about and resting on the plants. Some are Large Reds (easy ID) but a high proportion of others are brown with clear wings. The nearest water is the tiny River Bourne which runs alongside the site. I understand Damselflies are carnivores so should I welcome them as another predator of aphids etc? I must admit that other than Flea Beetle there hasn't been much insect pest about other than something nasty which attacked me yesterday judging by the sore red lumps on ankle and elbow. :-( -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
