Yellow-winged Darter
Sympetrum flaveolum

A rare migrant in the county, distinguished from all our other darters by its unmistakable yellow wings, present in both sexes.

Until 1995 the only records had been Cowbit Wash in 1956 and Black Walk Nook. An unprecedented influx occurred in August of 1995 with at least 20 being recorded from Gibraltar Point and several from Donna Nook. It successfully bred at Gibraltar Point in 1995, with an emergent being seen in 1996.
