Between the more predictable clouds of rain at the weekend Jan Shields was fortunate to see ‘clouds of Banded Demoiselles’ on the River Severn in Shrewsbury. A male (left) and female are shown here with the white pseudopterostigma (false wing spot) just visible on the female.
Jan also saw some Clubtails – this fabulous shot showing a rather large Mayfly lunch being devoured by a male! (don’t forget you can click on the images to see a larger copy). The photo on the far left also nicely illustrates the clubbed tail of the males giving this species it’s common name.
