Latest Leics & Rutland Dragonfly SightingsSaturday, October 07, 2006Origin of Red-veined Darters in Huncote As Adey Baker had already mentioned, we had been wondering whether the origin of the RVD's at Huncote may have been the Huncote Sandpits. Our hunch was that they may have come from the new extension. This would mean that they could navigate to the rough field corner in Huncote by following the Thurlaston Brook.Well our hunch paid off and we found three Red-veined Darters at this private site. The sandpit looks perfect for the breeding location for the first generation individuals, so this would make a good theory for the appearance of these colourful insects - especially as we have now seen c12 individuals around Huncote. We checked other areas of the sandpits, but found no RVD's. Three RVD's were still in the rough field corner near the entrance to the Croft Quarry nature walk at the Huncote end.
