Beautiful 'lost' insect turns up anew in UK


The dainty damselfly has been absent from UK shores for half a century

A delicate, blue-hued insect has re-appeared in the UK after an interval of more than half a century.
The dainty damselfly, a smaller relative of dragonflies, was washed away from its single East Anglian pond in the severe coastal floods of 1952/3.
Now, a few individuals have been found at a site in north Kent.
Conservationists believe the insects were blown on the wind from France or Belgium where they have become more common, probably due to climate change.


"The spread northwards across the continent seems to be associated
 with climate change.
"And it's quite likely that they've caught a lift on a southerly breeze and popped across the English Channel."
The species recently established itself again in Belgium after a long absence, and has been documented for the first time in The Netherlands. Last year, specimens were found in Jersey.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism
    or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of
    exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
    Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I'd truly appreciate it.

    Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Finding the
    time and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don't seem to get anything done.
