Thankyou  I wont be releasing it then if it isnt native. Im guessing it wouldnt survive anyway if I did? They can live in the vivarium. |

Small flying insects would probably be the preferred prey, but Blue-tails will also hover in front of plants and pick insects like aphids off the stems so if you put plant stems with a few aphids on them in the vivarium that may do. |

Ive still got my sweep net from my university project so catching some live food shouldnt be a problem. Plenty of aphids too on the plum tree in the garden. Shame they only live a couple of weeks but hopefully i can keep them happy.

A local Dragonfly group would be interested to see them too, I'm sure.
