Lesser Emperor Dragonfly seen in Rochdale


The truly magnificent Lesser Emperor dragonfly Anax parthenope ( 4/5 " wingspan) has been recorded in Carlisle recently and at a reclaimed nature site in Naseby . The BBC 4 News at 5.55 today had a Natural History reporter saying it had been seen in several places in the UK.

Here is a photo Lord Patel was lucky to get when it was observed in Syke, Rochdale, last week. It has also been observed elsewhere in Rochdale in recent days. By far the largest dragonfly you will see in the UK, it hovers fairly high and hunts over a wide area. Like an Israeli UAV drone.

The Dragonfly society record it "Rare but currently annual migrant. First recorded 1996, Gloucestershire; has bred in Cornwall."
