The Potamarcha congener, also known as the yellow-tailed ashy skimmer, common hunter, or swamp watcher, is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. This dragonfly has several variations in body color, one of which is black.
General: Common by still waters in most of Europe. Easily recognized by its large size, brown body and the black wing spots for which it is named.\nTot 40-48mm, Ab 27-32mm, Hw 32-40mm.\nMales heave a powerful, aggressive flight and frequently perch on stakes overlooking the water.\nHabitat: Most still waters, preferably with well developed vegetation, and can be very numerous on acidic lakes.\nFlight Season: From late April to mid September, but most abundant in early summer.\nDistribution: Widespread and abundant in much of range, across temperate Eurasia and North America. In the past was known to have massive migrations.\n\nThis is a common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.\nThe Picture is made in the Wieden (Overijssel, the Netherlands) in mid June of 2023.

Tot 42-45mm, Ab. 25-29mm, Hw 32-38mm.\n\nGeneral: A local species throughout our area that prefers slow-moving waters, bordered with tall emergent vegetation. The appearance of the male changes dramatically with maturation; vivid orange abdomen turn into black and grey-blue territorial males. \nMales frequently perch on waterside plants, making darting flights between perches.\nHabitat: Appears to require a certain combination of water quality and habitat structure (such as Reed borders). Include slow flowing rivers and streams, abandoned canals, reedy lakes and ditches, oxbows and fishponds.\nFlight Season: From April to early August, but activity concentrated in May and June in most of range.\nDistribution: Widespread through M Europe, habitat specific, therefore locally common.\n\nIn the Netherlands the Dragonfly is local common. The Males have a blue Abdomen.

A brown and rather plain hawker, with largely clear wings and conspicuous green eyes. The yellow triangle on S2 is diagnostic, as are the colour and shape of the hind wing base. Males patrol marshy ditches, reedy lakesides and other lush, calm waters.\nField characters: Tot 62-66mm, Ab 47-54mm, Hw 39-45mm.\nHabitat: Ditches, marshes, ponds and lakes with rich vegetation. 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.
Dragonfly and unique Plants are found on the banks of small rivers flowing behind my house, sometimes when the dragonflies perch appear to be ordinary, but when immortalized will look the real beauty. Beautiful, elegant and extraordinary

Tot 39-48mm, Ab. 22-31mm, Hw 32-38mm.\nGeneral: A large, pale blue male of this species, aggressively defending a garden pond or small natural pool, is a familiar sight in much of our area.\nThe abdomen shape and four large black areas at the wing bases instantly distinguish this species.\nHabitat: A wide range of mostly stagnant waters, especially favouring those that are small, shallow, sunny and bare, such as cattle drinking pools or quarry lakes.\nFlight Season: From late April to mid September, most abundant in May and June.\nDistribution: Among the commonest species in much of Europe, extended to central Asia. A strong flier that is often the first species to claim newly created or cleared habitats.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.
