$Tot 50-55mm, Ab, 37-42mm, Hw 30-35mm.\nIdentification:\nThe characters of this clubtail are rather different . It prefers very large (lowland) rivers and may easily be overlooked. Populations can best be found by searching for exuviae on river banks.\nOccurrence:\nA north Asian species, with western outposts in large rivers such as the Rhine, Loire and Po. Common in large lowland rivers in eastern Europe, but staged a strong comeback in Western Europe in the 1990s. Now abundant in rivers such as the Rhine, Elbe and Danube, right down to their estuaries.\nHabitat:\nSlow flowing lower sections of large rivers with sandy beds. Larvae burrow shallowly in fine substrates with relatively high concentrations of organic matter.\nFlight Season:\nLate and protracted, compared with other Gomphus species, from early June to early October, with maximum emergence in June and July.\n\nThis is a scarce Gomphus Species along the large Dutch Rivers. This Picture is made along the River Waal, near “Slot Loevestein” in the Province of Gelderland.$

$From the dazzling flight of dragonflies to the diligent work of honeybees, insects and spiders play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. These small creatures support pollination, pest control, and biodiversity, reminding us of the importance of sustainable practices to protect their habitats and ensure a thriving planet for all.\nLocation: Asola , New Delhi (India)$

The Banded demoiselle is a large damselfly that lives along the edges of slow-flowing rivers and canals, still ponds and lakes, and among lush, damp vegetation.

Arriving on the scene around 300 million years ago, dragonflies were one of the first insects to inhabit this planet. They've had a long time to perfect the art of flying, hunting and just being amazing.
