$Tot 39-48mm, Ab. 22-31mm, Hw 32-38mm.\nGeneral: A large, pale blue male of this species, aggressively defending a garden pond or small natural pool, is a familiar sight in much of our area.\nThe abdomen shape and four large black areas at the wing bases instantly distinguish this species.\nHabitat: A wide range of mostly stagnant waters, especially favouring those that are small, shallow, sunny and bare, such as cattle drinking pools or quarry lakes.\nFlight Season: From late April to mid September, most abundant in May and June.\nDistribution: Among the commonest species in much of Europe, extended to central Asia. A strong flier that is often the first species to claim newly created or cleared habitats.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.$
