Close up of a dragonfly photographed from the front. The focus is on the compound eyes. The wings are open.

$Field characters: Tot 56-64mm, Ab 43-54mm, Hw 37-42mm. Distinctly smaller than most Aeshna species.\n\nThe commonest small hawker. Numerous in much of our area, and although it can be on the wing during most months in the Mediterranean, further north it is especially associated with late summer and autumn, when it may appear in massive migrations. It is usually identified by its size, relative dull colours and the diagnostic yellow \$

This is a head and wings close-up shot of a female Emperor dragonfly resting on a dwarf conifer. Emperors are very rare in our area and this one was very well camouflaged. A clear and well focussed image. The tree is also known as Ground Juniper.

$Tot 39-48mm, Ab 29-39mm, Hw 23-28mm.\nLestes viridis is easily noted for its vivid green color, pale appendices, large size and its habit of hiding in trees and bushes. It is the only European Species that lay eggs in living wood.\nOccurrence:\nWidespread and common in most of Europe; inexplicably absent until recently from Great Britain (where suitable habitat abounds). Benefits from urbanization, favoring garden and park ponds, and possibly expending northwards.\nHabitat: \nAlmost any type of standing or slow flowing water with bordering trees and bushes. Unlike other Lestes, does not favors ephemeral conditions (e.g. shallows, drying-out pans).\nFlight Season:\nThe latest Lestes; in central Europe seldom emerges before mid-July, but already in early May in Iberia. Abundant in august and September, persisting into November.\n\nThis is probably the most Common Lestes in the Netherlands.$

$Field characters: Tot 44-50mm, Ab 29-35mm, Hw 35-41mm.\n\nKnown as 'blue arrows', the males of this active species, sheering fast and low above water or perching on open ground beside it, are one of the most familiar dragonfly sights in our area.\nRange and Status: Found throughout our area, with the exception of the northern Scandinavia. one of the most common species.\nHabitat: Larger standing or slow-flowing waters, generally open and often with margins without vegetation, such as lakes, sandpits, rivers and canals.\nFlight Season: From the end of April to the beginning of September, most abundant from June to August.\n\nThis is a common Species on the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$
