$Tot 39-48mm, Ab 29-39mm, Hw 23-28mm.\nLestes viridis is easily noted for its vivid green color, pale appendices, large size and its habit of hiding in trees and bushes. It is the only European Species that lay eggs in living wood.\nOccurrence:\nWidespread and common in most of Europe; inexplicably absent until recently from Great Britain (where suitable habitat abounds). Benefits from urbanization, favoring garden and park ponds, and possibly expending northwards.\nHabitat: \nAlmost any type of standing or slow flowing water with bordering trees and bushes. Unlike other Lestes, does not favors ephemeral conditions (e.g. shallows, drying-out pans).\nFlight Season:\nThe latest Lestes; in central Europe seldom emerges before mid-July, but already in early May in Iberia. Abundant in august and September, persisting into November.\n\nThis is probably the most Common Lestes in the Netherlands.$

Favours swamps of Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides) in most of its northern range.\nFlight Season: May to August in most of its range, most abundant in June; earlier than most Aeshnia.\nDistribution: Widespread but very local in much of its range, especially in south-west, often numerous where present. \n\nThis is not a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$

$Field characters: Tot 56-64mm, Ab 43-54mm, Hw 37-42mm. Distinctly smaller than most Aeshna species.\n\nThe commonest small hawker. Numerous in much of our area, and although it can be on the wing during most months in the Mediterranean, further north it is especially associated with late summer and autumn, when it may appear in massive migrations. It is usually identified by its size, relative dull colours and the diagnostic yellow \$
