$Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.\nOne of the larger Sympetrum species. In the field, males may be noticed because they seldom become as deeply red as other species and have a rather parallel-sided abdomen.\nHabitat: Wide range of places, especially preferring warm, stagnant waters. These are often shallow and bare, this species being a pioneer of newly created ponds. Occasionally in flowing or brackish water.\nFlight Season: May be seen all year in the Mediterranean. In Northern Europe, appears from early June, becoming abundant in July and flying into November. One of the last dragonflies to be encountered in autumn.\nDistribution: Common in most of our area, becoming less common relative to S. vulgatum in a north-easterly direction. Extends to Japan. Migrations are often seen and are sometimes massive.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.$

In north of range mainly runnels in boggy areas.\nFlight Season: \nFrom April to November; most abundant from June to August.\n\nThe Species is quite local in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.

$Mayflies (also known as shadflies or fishflies in Canada and the upper Midwestern U.S.; also up-winged flies in the United Kingdom) are aquatic insects belonging to the order Ephemeroptera. This order is part of an ancient group of insects termed the Palaeoptera, which also contains dragonflies and damselflies. Over 3,000 species of mayfly are known worldwide, grouped into over 400 genera in 42 families.\nImago:\nAdult mayflies, or imagos, are relatively primitive in structure, exhibiting traits that were probably present in the first flying insects. These include long tails and wings that do not fold flat over the abdomen (Source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2006.$
