Resumo

Se proporciona el primer registro para la isla de Menorca de hembras androcromas de Crocothemis erythraea y se describe y discute la observación de una hembra poniendo huevos en el mar en Cala Carbó en mayo de 2022. Se registra la presencia del mosquito parásito Forcipomyia paludis en esta especie en la población de Son Bou.
