$Tot 33-35mm, ab 23-31mm, Hw 15-24mm\nThis sleek, pale blue damselfly is one of the commonest odonates in large parts of Europe. Males are usually recognized by the black U on S2 and two-spiked markings on the abdomen, but may be confused with the equally widespread but often darker more local C. pulchellum.\nHabitat: A wide variety of waters, especially still but also flowing, although generally scarce on peaty or clay soils. Favors the presence of aquatic vegetation.\nFlight Season: From April to September, but most common from mid-May to the end of July.\nDistribution: Europe to central Asia.\n\nThis is a common Species for the described Habitats in the Netherlands. This Picture is made in my Garden Pond in the Province of Flevoland.$

$Identification:\nTot 57-66mm, Ab 39-49mm, Hw 37-42mm.\nIn flight often confused with the related and similar small A. mixta. Ranges less far north, but also migratory and may be invasive in good summers.\nMales are often observed when making low patrols over drying wetlands, showing their noticeable bright colors. The males vivid blue eyes and abdomen and largely green thorax sides are especially distinctive.\nHabitat: Prefers standing waters that dry up over the course of Summer, often overgrown with low rushes, bulrushes or reeds.\nFlight Season: On average, emerges earlier than A. mixta. Seen mainly from May to August, especially in the later months.\nDistribution: Seldom abundant, and only permanently present around the Mediterranean, but scarce in much of Iberia and North Africa. Hot summer weather may lead to influxes further north. Occurs east to Mongolia.\n\nThis Picture is made in a Fen area in Flevoland in half August 2022 by high Summer temperatures.$

The conspicuous yellow spot on S7 identifies males and most females through binoculars.\nOccurrence:\nGenerally uncommon; populations are usually local and small. The most thermophilus Leucorrhinia, with a relative southern range.\nHabitat:\nGenerally inhabits less acidic and nutrient poor places than L. dubia and L. rubicunda, preferring marshy borders to bogs, forest lakes, fenlands, marshy ditches.\nVegetation is typically lush and varied, with both emergent and submerged species. The water is frequently mesotrophic and often colored brown due to peat.\nFlight Season:\nFrom early May to early August, with most records in late May and June.\n\nThis Picture is made in the Wieden (Overijssel, the Netherlands) in mid June of 2023.$
