• Three very similar damselfly species are illustrated. As the European climate has warmed up some continental damselflies have spread their ranges further north and a couple of new species have arrived in the UK recently including the Willow Emerald Damselfly. This insect is now known to have bred in Kent as long ago as 1992 (source: 'British Wildlife' Volume 15 Number 4, April 2004).
