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.
