Yellow-winged Darter Dragonfly at Attenborough Nature Reserve

Yellow-Winged Darter (Sympetrum flaveolum)

A single female of this scarce species from the continent was a surprise capture by B. Wetton in 1996. Several had occurred in Britain during the summer of 1995 so this individual may either have bred from that population or have been a recent migrant. The male and female of this species can be separated from other darters by large patches of yellow on both the fore and hind wings.
