Formed in 1994, the branch promotes the study and conservation of dragonflies and damselflies, Odonata to enthusiasts, by encouraging people of all ages and backgrounds to take part in the various activities which are organised by and on behalf of the members, including field trips, pond dipping and recording surveys. Regional membership currently stands at around 45, with national members numbering around 1500. Tom Hubball, who is Chair of the Yorkshire Branch, is keen to recruit new members. He says: “There are 39 species of this beautiful insect ranging from the Blue-tailed Damselfly which most people would recognise, to the larger, faster species like the Brown Hawker which is common in Yorkshire.
