Looks like our newest guest checked in without a reservation... 😄💚

We had a beautiful Emerald Damselfly stop by at Dragonfly Hotel Colchester this morning – we couldn't have asked for a more appropriate guest!

It's not quite a dragonfly, but it is one of their closest cousins – so we'd say it's still very much part of the family!

Did you know? : Dragonflies and damselflies have been around for over 300 million years, making them older than the dinosaurs. They're also incredible hunters, catching up to 95% of the insects they chase!

Keep your eyes peeled when you're visiting – you never know what wildlife you might spot around the hotel. 👀
