The BDS desperately need to understand the population size and distribution of this dragonfly to conserve it, but records for this elusive species are patchy and dated.
If you live near the River Wye, Welsh Dee, Middle Thames, Kennet, Middle Severn or Sussex Arun get in touch with Project Co-ordinator, David Tompkins or call the Conservation Officer, Genevieve Dalley.
American lobster is classified as an invasive non-native species in the UK because it is outside its natural range of North Eastern America and it can cause impacts to our local lobster and crab populations.
