Photograph of Orthetrum albistylum, also known as the White-tailed Skimmer, resting on a rock. The image highlights the dragonfly’s slender body and detailed wing patterns in a natural outdoor setting, suitable for wildlife, nature, or entomology themes.

The vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum) is a European dragonfly. The species is common in central and northeast Europe. It breeds in standing water.

The Banded demoiselle is a large damselfly that lives along the edges of slow-flowing rivers and canals, still ponds and lakes, and among lush, damp vegetation.

$General: A local species throughout our area that prefers slow-moving waters, bordered with tall emergent vegetation. The appearance of the male changes dramatically with maturation; vivid orange abdomen turn into black and grey-blue territorial males. \nTot 42-45mm, Ab. 25-29mm, Hw 32-38mm.\nMales frequently perch on waterside plants, making darting flights between perches.\nHabitat: Appears to require a certain combination of water quality and habitat structure (such as Reed borders). Include slow flowing rivers and streams, abandoned canals, reedy lakes and ditches, oxbows and fishponds.\nFlight Season: From April to early August, but activity concentrated in May and June in most of range.\nDistribution: Widespread through M Europe, habitat specific, therefore locally common.\n\nIn the Netherlands the Dragonfly is local common. The Males have a blue Abdomen.$
