Threats

Common blue damselflies are still common and widespread and do not appear to be threatened. Provided they find clean water and plenty of marginal vegetation, they seem to be a successful species. They also colonise new water bodies, especially flooded gravel pits, extremely rapidly.

Conservation

As this species remains widespread and common, there are currently not conservation plans for this species.

There may be further information about this species available via the National Biodiversity Network Gateway.
