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.\n\nThis Picture is made in a large Rift with a rich vegetation in Flevoland (the Netherlands) in half of June 2021.

Distribution recall L. barbarous, and also tends to wander like that species, though rarely in similarly great numbers.\n\nThis Species is to be seen in the describe Habitats, but not as common as L. sponsa in the Netherlands.

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.
