However, it is sleeker, paler and more contrasting. Named for the contrasting white appendages of both sexes.\nBehavior:\nLike O. cancellatum, male often sits on open ground near the water, making very fast, low flights over the water.\nOccurrence:\nDistribution is patchy, but the species is generally not uncommon, stretching to China and Japan.\nHabitat: Open Ponds and Lakes.\nFlight Season: From the end of May to mid-September.\n\nThis nice Skimmer is photographed during a Vacation in France in May 1990.

$Spider lily, also called Hurricane lily and Surprise lily, is a perennial bulb that blooms in September. Spider lily is called Autumn Equinox Flower in Japan, because it normally blooms around the Autumn Equinox.\nThis photo of spider lily was taken at Kinchakuda, Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture. Kinchakuda is one of the most famous places in Japan for its over one million stocks of red spider lily, which makes the whole park along Koma River the beautiful red carpet. \nWhen Commodore William Perry came to Japan to open some Japanese ports aboard some of US Navy’s steam ships in1854, it is said that Captain William Roberts aboard one ship of the fleet acquired 3 bulbs of the red spider lily and brought back to his home, spreading all over the US.$

$Tot 35-40mm, Ab 26-33mm, Hw 20-25mm.\nOften occurs with L. sponsa, with which is easily confused. Typically occurs in lower numbers, but can be more abundant in sites that are only seasonally wet.\nOccurrence:\nRange similar to L. sponsa, but relatively more common southward Europe and typically more localized and less numerous than that species in most of its northern range. Our only Lestes that also occurs in North America.\nHabitat:\nA wide variety of still waters, which typically dry out in the course of summer or have shallow borders providing warm micro-habitats for the larvae. Sites usually have dense growths of rushes or sedges, e.g. dune lakes, reedy shallows, small meadow ponds or edges of bogs.\nFlight Season:\nThe earliest Lestes in most areas, emerging from late May in northern Europe, most abundant in July and August, with the last record in October.\n\nThis is a less common Lestes species, than L sponsa in the Netherlands.$
