$A brown and rather plain hawker, with largely clear wings and conspicuous green eyes. The yellow triangle on S2 is diagnostic, as are the colour and shape of the hind wing base. Males patrol marshy ditches, reedy lakesides and other lush, calm waters.\nField characters: Tot 62-66mm, Ab 47-54mm, Hw 39-45mm.\nHabitat: Ditches, marshes, ponds and lakes with rich vegetation. Favours swamps of Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides) in most of its northern range.\nFlight Season: May to August in most of its range, most abundant in June; earlier than most Aeshnia.\nDistribution: Widespread but very local in much of its range, especially in south-west, often numerous where present. \n\nThis is not a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.$

The scarce chaser is a species of dragonfly. The adult male has a bright blue abdomen with patches of black, while the adult female and juvenile male each have a bright orange abdomen. It is about 45 mm in length with an average wingspan of 74 mm. It is distributed throughout Europe

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

Blue Dasher male in flight. Emily Renzel Ponds, Santa Clara County, California, USA.

$Tot 35-39mm, Ab 25-33mm, Hw 17-24mm. Average size and build for a Spreadwing.\n\nThe most widespread and numerous Lestes in many areas, probably because it is less partial to ephemeral habitats.\n\nOccurrence:\nOne of the commonest damselflies in most of Northern Europe across to japan, but (largely) absent from most of the south.\n\nHabitat:\nAlmost any standing water with ample reed-like vegetation. May be more numerous at recent shallow or acidic sites, but not specific to pioneer, ephemeral or bog-like conditions.\n\nFlight Season:\nGenerally from mid-May to mid-October, peaking in August. Most emergence tends to be a week later than L. dryas.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands in the described Habitats.$
