The pale blue males, showing off their white legs to each other, are a familiar sight along rivers and calm streams in large parts of Europe.

Small slow-flowing dragonfly White-legged damselfly or Blue featherleg (Platycnemis pennipes) on a leaf

$A common but easily overlooked damselfly, dainty and drab. Males and tandems may suddenly appear on the first sunny days of spring, perching and ovipositing on the reeds and rushes of the previous summer.\nImagos 34-39mm. The body is pale brown with glossy dark markings on the upper side of the head, thorax and abdomen.\nHabitat: All kinds of well-vegetated standing waters, especially where there are floating dead or rushes.\nFlight Season: Adults may be seen throughout the year, but are most reproductively active in April and May, while late summer activity peaks in August and September.\nDistribution: Common in a large part of Europe, but absence or scarce in England and Scandinavia.\n\nThis is nowadays a common Species in the Netherlands. The Adults are overwintering.$

$Tot 40-45mm, Ab 26-35mm, Hw 20-27mm.\nThis mobile species is typical of habitats prone to desiccation. It is recognized in most areas by its pale coloration and bicolored pterostigma. Often seen ovipositing in completely dry areas.\nOccurrence:\nA strong wanderer found in Mid and South Europe to the east to Mongolia; may be absent from areas for many years, suddenly establishing large colonies that may persist for years. A southern species that has increased dramatically in northern Europe since the mid 1990s.\nHabitat:\nFavors ephemeral conditions even more than other Lestes species, being typical of sites that dry out early in summer, such as dune slacks, meadow pools and shallow depressions.\nFlight Season:\nFrom March to October in the southern Mediterranean, but in the north most adults probably emerge in June and July, reaching the greatest densities in August.$

$Tot 39-48mm, Ab 29-39mm, Hw 23-28mm.\nLestes viridis is easily noted for its vivid green color, pale appendices, large size and its habit of hiding in trees and bushes. It is the only European Species that lay eggs in living wood.\nOccurrence:\nWidespread and common in most of Europe; inexplicably absent until recently from Great Britain (where suitable habitat abounds). Benefits from urbanization, favoring garden and park ponds, and possibly expending northwards.\nHabitat: \nAlmost any type of standing or slow flowing water with bordering trees and bushes. Unlike other Lestes, does not favors ephemeral conditions (e.g. shallows, drying-out pans).\nFlight Season:\nThe latest Lestes; in central Europe seldom emerges before mid-July, but already in early May in Iberia. Abundant in august and September, persisting into November.\n\nThis is probably the most Common Lestes in the Netherlands.$
