Dragonflies and Damselflies have been around for 300 Million years, they live up to 6 months & feed on mosquitos & other insects, keeping numbers in check. They are a good species to have around as they require clean water, indicating a good ecosystem & they do not bite or sting contrary to rumour.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
