Early Banded Demoiselles

I popped up to Weldon to see my first Large Reds and found 3 in total. I bumped into James Underwood who'd already found a female Banded Demoiselle and we went to relocate it.

I don't recall a time when Demoisellse were #2 recorded species in Northants and I wonder whether this is a quirk of this site or indicates they are appearing elsewhere and that other species are to be found too.
