Common Blue Damselfly
Flight period: early May to end September.
As the name suggests, the Common Blue Damselfly is one of the commonest species in the UK. They can be confused with other blue damselflies, particularly since the markings on this species are rather variable. Common Blue Damselflies are found across most of the UK and are probably the most widespread member of the "blue" damselflies. They can be found around open lakes and ponds, along river and canal banks and streams, provided there is plenty of bankside vegetation.
