SINISTER INVASION FROM THE MIDDLE EAST

At a time when the world has been focussed on events in North Africa and the Middle East, large numbers of predatory invaders have been silently invading Europe — and some have reached Britain. The invaders in question, though, are vagrant emperors.

The latest sightings were a male photographed in Plymouth (Devon) on 15th April and a female who chose to rest on some washing in Penryn (Cornwall) the following day. Both sexes are brown, though the male has a bright blue segment at the base of the abdomen, next to the wings. In addition to 44 species of dragonfly and damselfly seen regularly in the UK, a further 10 species have occurred as vagrants, including vagrant emperor.

DAVEY CURTIS: Get your jugs out

Dear Jon,

Joanne, Rosie & I were at York Museum today and I came across two unusual jugs, one has a figure of Pan on it and the other has a being I am not familiar with. At first I thought it was a merman but the tail is more serpent like than fish. Any ideas?

Regards
