Favours swamps of Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides) in most of its northern range.\nFlight Season: May to August in most of its range, most abundant in June; earlier than most Aeshnia.\nDistribution: Widespread but very local in much of its range, especially in south-west, often numerous where present. \n\nThis is not a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$

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