Neurothemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae. Their distribution is in India, Asia, Australia and the Pacific region. Most Neurothemis species are red.

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

$A brown and rather plain hawker, with largely clear wings and conspicuous green eyes. The yellow triangle on S2 is diagnostic, as are the colour and shape of the hind wing base. Males patrol marshy ditches, reedy lakesides and other lush, calm waters.\nField characters: Tot 62-66mm, Ab 47-54mm, Hw 39-45mm.\nHabitat: Ditches, marshes, ponds and lakes with rich vegetation. Favours swamps of Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides) in most of its northern range.\nFlight Season: May to August in most of its range, most abundant in June; earlier than most Aeshnia.\nDistribution: Widespread but very local in much of its range, especially in south-west, often numerous where present. \n\nThis is not a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$

$Tot 39-48mm, Ab 29-39mm, Hw 23-28mm.\nLestes viridis is easily noted for its vivid green color, pale appendices, large size and its habit of hiding in trees and bushes. It is the only European Species that lay eggs in living wood.\nOccurrence:\nWidespread and common in most of Europe; inexplicably absent until recently from Great Britain (where suitable habitat abounds). Benefits from urbanization, favoring garden and park ponds, and possibly expending northwards.\nHabitat: \nAlmost any type of standing or slow flowing water with bordering trees and bushes. Unlike other Lestes, does not favors ephemeral conditions (e.g. shallows, drying-out pans).\nFlight Season:\nThe latest Lestes; in central Europe seldom emerges before mid-July, but already in early May in Iberia. Abundant in august and September, persisting into November.\n\nThis is probably the most Common Lestes in the Netherlands.$

During fertilization, two feather dragonflies form a so-called love heart with their bodies. The background is green.
