She must have hitched a ride with the pondweed… The aquarium water must feel like summer, too bad my flat isn’t sunny and warm really! 😉

So are you keeping her? is this as big as she grows and does she stay on the surface of the water. She looks like what we call dragonflies.
If you mean am I letting her stay, then yes, I’m keeping her ? It’s way too cold to send her outside… I have no idea how long she’ll last in here tho
I’m not entirely sure she’s a damselfly and not a dragonfly, but I think she is. As far as I know, damselflies have much thinner bodies than dragonflies. Having said that, both damselflies and dragonflies get lumped together and called dragonflies in England so I could be wrong.
If she’s what I think she is, she won’t get any bigger. Her wings should probably be a bit more structural, and a little bit further apart… it seems like it wasn’t warm enough to pump her wings out properly.. she has only flown a couple of feet, since yesterday.
She’s not on the surface of the water, but she’s staying close to it, so far.. I (luckily) have a shortage of moskitoes in my flat, so I don’t know what she’ll eat ?
