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

$Tot 26-32mm, Ab 22-25mm, Hw 16-20mm.\nA small version of Large Redeye and also likely to be seen on floating vegetation Although it has a more southerly distribution than that species, its range has expanded rapidly to the N recently Numbers peak a month later than Large Redeye, coinciding with the growth of pondweed at the surface.\nIdentification: Like Large Redeye, both sexes lack pale spots behind the eyes and have pale brown wing-spots and two black lines on side of thorax, the upper one short; wings reach no more than halfway along S7.\n♂ Eyes brownish-red; thorax bronzy-black on top with blue side; pale shoulder stripes complete or reduced; abdomen dark except for blue on the top of S1, S9–10 and the sides of S2–3 and S8; black ‘X’-shape on top of S10; tip of abdomen often upcurved.\n♀ Eyes brown above, greenish below; shoulder stripes complete and, like side of thorax, are yellow, green or blue; abdomen similar to that of Large Redeye, except that top of S10 is pale (blue, green or yellow), extending forward just onto top and side of S9; rear edge of pronotum is rounded. Females may become\nlightly pruinose.\nBehaviour: Mating occurs either on floating plants or at the margins. When perched on floating vegetation, males hold their abdomen slightly upcurved (usually straight in Large Redeye).\nEggs are laid, while in tandem, into floating plants.\nBreeding habitat: Frequents a range of standing and sometimes slow-flowing waters with floating mats of pondweed, particularly hornworts (Ceratophyllum spp.) or water-milfoils (Myriophyllum spp.); sometimes on lily-pads with Large Redeye. Tolerates brackish conditions.\nFlight Season: From May to September in the South, but mainly in July and August in the North.\nOccurrence: Central Europe (incl. Mediterranean). Expending Northwards and South-East England.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands on the described Habitats.$
