$General: A large, pale blue male of this species, aggressively defending a garden pond or small natural pool, is a familiar sight in much of our area.\nThe abdomen shape and four large black areas at the wing bases instantly distinguish this species.\nTot 39-48mm, Ab. 22-31mm, Hw 32-38mm.\nHabitat: A wide range of mostly stagnant waters, especially favouring those that are small, shallow, sunny and bare, such as cattle drinking pools or quarry lakes.\nFlight Season: From late April to mid September, most abundant in May and June.\nDistribution: Among the commonest species in much of Europe, extended to central Asia. A strong flier that is often the first species to claim newly created or cleared habitats.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.$

$A brown and rather plain hawker, with largely clear wings and conspicuous green eyes. The yellow triangle on S2 is diagnostic, as are the colour and shape of the hind wing base. Males patrol marshy ditches, reedy lakesides and other lush, calm waters.\nField characters: Tot 62-66mm, Ab 47-54mm, Hw 39-45mm.\nHabitat: Ditches, marshes, ponds and lakes with rich vegetation. Favours swamps of Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides) in most of its northern range.\nFlight Season: May to August in most of its range, most abundant in June; earlier than most Aeshnia.\nDistribution: Widespread but very local in much of its range, especially in south-west, often numerous where present. \n\nThis is not a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands, but the Species is the last Years quite common.$
