A male migrant hawker hanging from a bramble in the English countryside.

$Tot: 45-50mm, Ab 30-37mm, Hw 33-38mm.\nIdentification:\nVery similar to O. cancellatum, with which it is found especially in the south-east, and as far west as France. However, it is sleeker, paler and more contrasting. Named for the contrasting white appendages of both sexes.\nBehavior:\nLike O. cancellatum, male often sits on open ground near the water, making very fast, low flights over the water.\nOccurrence:\nDistribution is patchy, but the species is generally not uncommon, stretching to China and Japan.\nHabitat: Open Ponds and Lakes.\nFlight Season: From the end of May to mid-September.\n\nThis nice Skimmer is photographed during a Vacation in France in May 1990.

$Tot 30-36mm, Ab. 25-30mm, Hw 19-24mm.\nA robust, dark, ‘blue-tailed damselfly’, usually found sitting away from the shore on floating vegetation, particularly water-lilies.\nWidespread over much of Europe except the far S and N, with a more northerly distribution than similar Small Redeye.\nBehaviour: Flies earlier in the season than Small Redeye, peaking about a month earlier, and usually keeps abdomen straight. In fine weather, males patrol low over water or sit on floating leaves, where they fight for strategic positions near open areas. They quickly move to nearby vegetation when the sun goes in, often\nlanding in trees. Eggs are laid, while in tandem, into stems and leaves of floating and sometimes emergent plants. Egg-laying often underwater, still in tandem.\nBreeding habitat: Closely associated with floating leaves, typically water-lilies, but also pondweeds and other floating vegetation.\nFavored sites include larger ponds, lakes and flooded mineral workings, canals, large drains and slow-flowing rivers, with floating leaves of water lilies or pondweeds.\nFlight Season: From April to August, with a peak in June.\nDistribution: M. Europe, except the Mediterranean and the far North.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the Netherlands for the described Habitats.$
