Southern Emeralds Still Active.

The hot and dry weather continues and it now must be almost two months since there has been any meaningful rainfall on the Isle of Wight and much of Southern England.However our colony of Southern Emerald Damselflies in Bouldnor Forest find it 'just like home' and the count today was eight males and one female at the two breeding scrapes.Both scrapes have now completely dried up.The males were seen on the vegetation in the scrapes and the lone female in the surrounding scrub
