Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.One of the larger Sympetrum species. In the field, males may be noticed because they seldom become as deeply red as other species and have a rather parallel-sided abdomen.Habitat: Wide range of places, especially preferring warm, stagnant waters. These are often shallow and bare, this species being a pioneer of newly created ponds. Occasionally in flowing or brackish water.Flight Season: May be seen all year in the Mediterranean. In Northern Europe, appears from early June, becoming abundant in July and flying into November. One of the last dragonflies to be encountered in autumn.Distribution: Common in most of our area, becoming less common relative to S. vulgatum in a north-easterly direction. Extends to Japan.
