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.

Maculinea alcon is a fairly rare resident in the Netherlands. The Dutch Monitor Scheme shows a steep decline in numbers after 1997. The number of populations fell from 160 in 1990 to 90 in 2000. This continual decline is related to the deterioration of the Habitat and the degree of isolation of the populations.
