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.$

Maculinea alcon is a fairly rare resident in the Netherlands. The Dutch Monitor Scheme shows a steep decline in numbers after 1997. The number of populations fell from 160 in 1990 to 90 in 2000. This continual decline is related to the deterioration of the Habitat and the degree of isolation of the populations.
