Ten species of dragonfly have been sighted in this habitat since 2021. Dragonflies thrive in unpolluted waters and have a long underwater larval stage (8 weeks to 5 years) before emerging as adults.
Freshwater ponds need nurturing and protecting from the pollution around us.
By doing so they help to nurture us too. #Biodiversity #WeAreNature #SolarPunkSunday
