23 october 2024, Basse Yutz, Yutz, Moselle, Lorraine, Grand Est, France. It's autumn. A Common Darter has landed on a yellowed bramble leaf, facing the sun. The dragonfly is looking for warmth. It is an old individual, its body has lost its colour to become dull, with grey-brown hues. It blends in well with the colours of the autumn foliage. But it also means that this dragonfly is approaching the end of its life.

A dragonfly is sitting on a flower. Insects in nature.
Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.\nOne of the larger Sympetrum species.

These are often shallow and bare, this species being a pioneer of newly created ponds. Occasionally in flowing or brackish water.\nFlight Season: May be seen all year in the Mediterranean. In Northern Europe, appears from early June, becoming abundant in July and flying into November. One of the last dragonflies to be encountered in autumn.\nDistribution: Common in most of our area, becoming less common relative to S. vulgatum in a north-easterly direction. Extends to Japan. Migrations are often seen and are sometimes massive.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.
