$Field characters: Tot 45-49mm, Ab 31-42mm, HW 24-36mm.\nThe largest and darkest Calopteryx, with almost entirely metallic cobalt wings in males and transparently greenish to deep ebony wings in females. The flight is butterfly-like, but heavier than in C. splendens, and the species is more often seen in deep forest shade.\nOccurrence:\nLocally common, east to the Urals. Absent from large areas in the south, e.g. many major islands, and in Anatolia mainly limited to coastal areas; rare on the plateau.\nHabitat: \nPrefers cooler running waters than other Calopteryx, typically small, more shaded or at higher latitudes: small forest streams are the classic habitat. Where streams broaden or open up, C. virgo gives way to C. splendens.\nFlight Season: May to late September.$

This is the largest damselfly of this Group. Males are metallic blue with a dark blue band across each wing. Females have metallic green body and veins, clear greenish wings and usually a white pseudopterostigma.\nHabitat: Most (partially) open running waters, avoiding cold torrents, high mountains and deep shade, and is scarce on large waters.\nDistribution: Common species in most parts of (Central) Europe, except N Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula.\nFlight Season: May-August.\n\nThis beautiful Insect is flying along streaming Brooks (open running Waters) and is quite common in the Netherlands. The Males defend Territories and the Courtship Behaviour is quite extended and exclusive.$
