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 \

Tot: 45-50mm, Ab 30-37mm, Hw 33-38mm.\nIdentification:\nVery similar to O. cancellatum, with which it is found especially in the south-east, and as far west as France. However, it is sleeker, paler and more contrasting. Named for the contrasting white appendages of both sexes.\nBehavior:\nLike O. cancellatum, male often sits on open ground near the water, making very fast, low flights over the water.\nOccurrence:\nDistribution is patchy, but the species is generally not uncommon, stretching to China and Japan.\nHabitat: Open Ponds and Lakes.\nFlight Season: From the end of May to mid-September.\n\nThis nice Skimmer is photographed during a Vacation in France in May 1990.

Limenitis camilla is a quite rare and endangered species in the Netherlands. The species underwent a steep decline during the 1990s, especially in the south of the country. At present, it is present in the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel. The butterfly occurs in open, damp, deciduous woodland where it is in clearings and along rides, and also at the woodland edge where its larval food plant Lonicera periclimenum is growing. It usually flies in one generation from mid-June  until the end of July and hibernates as half-grown caterpillar. \n\n
