Small Red Damselfly - Ceriagrion tenellum
This Nationally Scarce species is similar in appearance to the much more common and widespread Large Red Damselfly. Although there is a slight difference in size, the easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the legs - Small Reds have red legs while Large Reds have black legs.
