This damselfly is usually the first to be seen in spring, in April or even late March. Males are mostly red, with black tails.

his beautiful fritillary is one of Britain’s largest butterflies. Like many species, it declined during the twentieth century, but it is now making some encouraging recovery, particularly in southern England.
