Tot 29-34mm, Ab 18-26mm, Hw 20-30mm\nGeneral: \nThe small, all black males are a familiar sight on bogs and moors in our northern regions.\nYounger males and females are easily distinguished by the black band marked with “golden drops” on the thorax side.\nOccurrence: \nCircumboreal, ranging to Japan and across North America. Generally common, even abundant on many acidic waters.\nHabitat: \nMostly acidic waters such as bogs, moorland and heathy lakes, but also breeds in small tarns, drying ponds and ditches.\nFlight Season: \nRelative late, from mid-June to early November, most abundant in August.\n\nThis is a common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.

Twelve-spotted Skimmer Dragonfly
The widow skimmer (Libellula luctuosa) is one of the group of dragonflies known as king skimmers. The nymphs live in the water, molting and growing until they are ready to emerge from the water and then molting a final time to reveal their wings. Annadel State Park, Sonoma County, California. Male animal.

The Paddy Skimmer is one of the smaller species of dragonfly that can be seen in the Western Ghats. Measuring about an inch long, their flight range is very limited, although apparently their breeding capabilities are unhindered, as they are without a doubt one of the most numerous species to be seen in fields, both wild and cultivated. The teneral (young) male has a black and gold body, green and red eyes, and would be difficult to distinguish from the female if it weren’t for the differences in their wings – the male’s (both in youth and maturity) are about half black, with the other half equally divided between a white strip and a transparent tip. The female’s wings are more complicatedly patterned, although mainly transparent.
Tot 42-45mm, Ab. 25-29mm, Hw 32-38mm.\n\nGeneral: A local species throughout our area that prefers slow-moving waters, bordered with tall emergent vegetation. The appearance of the male changes dramatically with maturation; vivid orange abdomen turn into black and grey-blue territorial males. \nMales frequently perch on waterside plants, making darting flights between perches.\nHabitat: Appears to require a certain combination of water quality and habitat structure (such as Reed borders). Include slow flowing rivers and streams, abandoned canals, reedy lakes and ditches, oxbows and fishponds.\nFlight Season: From April to early August, but activity concentrated in May and June in most of range.\nDistribution: Widespread through M Europe, habitat specific, therefore locally common.\n\nIn the Netherlands the Dragonfly is local common. The Males have a blue Abdomen.

This picture was taken in Ain, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region in France. This species is smaller than the common Darter or Red-veined Darter. She is pale orange to the basal of the wings. The eyes are red bright brown above and yellow below.

Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)

Tot 31-36mm, Ab 21-27mm, Hw 23-28mm.\nThis is the smallest Leucorrhinia. Easily confused with L. rubicunda, unless caught or closely examined. Both are black with yellowish-brown spots on the thorax.\nBehaviour: Like L. rubicunda, often displays a rather erratic flight across the water and the surrounding area. Frequently perches on the ground, among dense vegetation.\nHabitat: Bogs, ponds, tarns and lakes, usually acidic and often in forests. the larvae are sensitive to fish predation, and so the species, does better where fish are not present, such as small pools in raised bogs.\nFlight Season: From mid April to early September. In temperate lowlands, most abundant from late May to mid July.\nDistribution: often abundant species in N and E Europe, but like other Leucorrhinia species its occurrence is relictual in the south west of its range.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.
