Arrived in the UK in 1999 and
quickly expanded north through southern and midland
counties of the UK to reach Nottinghamshire in 2006,
where it was recorded on a number of occasions from
Attenborough NR (Rogers,
R.). Found as far north as the Idle
Valley NR by 2014, but less commonly so than Red-eyed Damselfly and
largely restricted to south Nottinghamshire. But it does seem to have
increased in these last few years, certainly on the evidence of turning
up at Newstead and Annesley CP (Naylor, P.),
Warsop Main Pit Top and Bevercotes Pit Wood in 2022. |
