$Field characters: Tot 45-49mm, Ab 31-42mm, HW 24-36mm.\nThe largest and darkest Calopteryx, with almost entirely metallic cobalt wings in males and transparently greenish to deep ebony wings in females. The flight is butterfly-like, but heavier than in C. splendens, and the species is more often seen in deep forest shade.\nOccurrence:\nLocally common, east to the Urals. Absent from large areas in the south, e.g. many major islands, and in Anatolia mainly limited to coastal areas; rare on the plateau.\nHabitat: \nPrefers cooler running waters than other Calopteryx, typically small, more shaded or at higher latitudes: small forest streams are the classic habitat. Where streams broaden or open up, C. virgo gives way to C. splendens.\nFlight Season: May to late September.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Long Weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2019. The beautiful Males Damselflies were displaying on floating Water Plants in the fast streaming River there.$

$Tot 33-37mm, Ab 23-25mm, Hw 29-32mm.\nLarge, broad, club-tailed species, Males often perch on lilypads. They are dark, marked with white highlights on the face, waist and at the tips of the wings and abdomen. This makes identification through binoculars easy.\nBehavior:\nBoth sexes fly actively over open water, frequently resting on floating vegetation (Nuphar, Nymphaea, Potamogeton), where mating may also take place. Male often raises clubbed tail.\nOccurrence:\nOccurrence is scattered and populations are normally rather small. May be abundant locally.\nHabitat:\nPools and lakes with moderate nutrient levels and rich aquatic vegetation.\nFlight Season: \nMid May to early August; most abundant in June.\n\nThis Picture is made in the Wieden (Overijssel, the Netherlands) in mid June of 2023.$
