Two new localities (within 35 km) of the Scarlet Dragonfly were recorded on the clay pits in the South Wielkopolska region: 1) Odolanów (Ostrów Wielkopolski district, 51º35’ N, 17º39’ E, UTM: XT81): one ♂ on 28th May 2007; 2) Kotlin (Jarocin district, 51º54’ N, 17º40’ E, UTM: XT85): one ♂ on 23rd June 2007. Those records were made 4-48 km from localities detected by Żurawlew (2009) in Pleszew district (Fig. 1) and support his opinion about high importance of clay pits for this species. Both records came from Kartoteka Przyrodnicza Południowej Wielkopolski (Nature Database of the South Wielkopolska), the “citizen science” scheme, led by local group of the Polish Society for the Protection of Birds. The wider co-operation of the odonatologists with such groups and schemes is proposed in the article.
