$Tot 35-39mm, Ab 25-33mm, Hw 17-24mm. Average size and build for a Spreadwing.\n\nThe most widespread and numerous Lestes in many areas, probably because it is less partial to ephemeral habitats.\n\nOccurrence:\nOne of the commonest damselflies in most of Northern Europe across to japan, but (largely) absent from most of the south.\n\nHabitat:\nAlmost any standing water with ample reed-like vegetation. May be more numerous at recent shallow or acidic sites, but not specific to pioneer, ephemeral or bog-like conditions.\n\nFlight Season:\nGenerally from mid-May to mid-October, peaking in August. Most emergence tends to be a week later than L. dryas.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.$

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

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