Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.\nOne of the larger Sympetrum species. In the field, males may be noticed because they seldom become as deeply red as other species and have a rather parallel-sided abdomen.\nHabitat: Wide range of places, especially preferring warm, stagnant waters. 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.

Pyrgus sidea on the flower
Tot 35-40mm, Ab 26-33mm, Hw 20-25mm.\nOften occurs with L. sponsa, with which is easily confused. Typically occurs in lower numbers, but can be more abundant in sites that are only seasonally wet.\nOccurrence:\nRange similar to L. sponsa, but relatively more common  southward Europe and typically more localized and less numerous than that species in most of its northern range. Our only Lestes that also occurs in North America.\nHabitat:\nA wide variety of still waters, which typically dry out in the course of summer or have shallow borders providing warm micro-habitats for the larvae. Sites usually have dense growths of rushes or sedges, e.g. dune lakes, reedy shallows, small meadow ponds or edges of bogs.\nFlight Season:\nThe earliest Lestes in most areas, emerging from late May in northern Europe, most abundant in July and August, with the last record in October.\n\nThis is a less common Lestes species, than L sponsa in the Netherlands.

The Keeled Skimmer is characterized by its rather small size, fairly slender tapering abdomen and large pterostigma (around 4mm long).\nBehavior:\n Normally sits on vegetation, seldom on the ground.\nOccurrence:\nCommon around the Mediterranean, but generally local in central and Southern Europe.\nHabitat:\nRunning waters, such as streams and ditches. In north of range mainly runnels in boggy areas.\nFlight Season: \nFrom April to November; most abundant from June to August.\n\nThe Species is quite local in the Netherlands in the described Habitats. This Picture is made on the Veluwe in begin of August 2021 along a small Brook.

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.
