Probably because I am about a mile from a lake. I never thought about trying to identify the species!

It has all the dragonflies but not all the damselflies. One really needs both.

Just a few bumblebees, flies and moths with some beetles. The weather’s been appalling, actually cool / cold and raining often, very wet. Only the slugs and snails have benefitted. I doubt the amphibians are having much luck with so few insects. Mammals and birds are having a tough time too.
It seems the weather is Jet-stream related, with a suggestion that this has a tendency to get stuck due to the warming Arctic.
