$Tot 42-45mm, Ab. 25-29mm, Hw 32-38mm.\n\nGeneral: A local species throughout our area that prefers slow-moving waters, bordered with tall emergent vegetation. The appearance of the male changes dramatically with maturation; vivid orange abdomen turn into black and grey-blue territorial males. \nMales frequently perch on waterside plants, making darting flights between perches.\nHabitat: Appears to require a certain combination of water quality and habitat structure (such as Reed borders). Include slow flowing rivers and streams, abandoned canals, reedy lakes and ditches, oxbows and fishponds.\nFlight Season: From April to early August, but activity concentrated in May and June in most of range.\nDistribution: Widespread through M Europe, habitat specific, therefore locally common.\n\nIn the Netherlands the Dragonfly is local common. The Males have a blue Abdomen.$

$Tot 32-39mm, Ab 23-27mm, Hw 30-33mm.\nThe largest whiteface and the prevailing one in many lowland and more eutrophic areas, although almost always very local. The conspicuous yellow spot on S7 identifies males and most females through binoculars.\nOccurrence:\nGenerally uncommon; populations are usually local and small. The most thermophilus Leucorrhinia, with a relative southern range.\nHabitat:\nGenerally inhabits less acidic and nutrient poor places than L. dubia and L. rubicunda, preferring marshy borders to bogs, forest lakes, fenlands, marshy ditches.\nVegetation is typically lush and varied, with both emergent and submerged species. The water is frequently mesotrophic and often colored brown due to peat.\nFlight Season:\nFrom early May to early August, with most records in late May and June.\n\nThis Picture is made in the Wieden (Overijssel, the Netherlands) in mid June of 2021.$
