$Tot 30-36mm, Ab. 25-30mm, Hw 19-24mm.\nA robust, dark, ‘blue-tailed damselfly’, usually found sitting away from the shore on floating vegetation, particularly water-lilies.\nWidespread over much of Europe except the far S and N, with a more northerly distribution than similar Small Redeye.\nBehaviour: Flies earlier in the season than Small Redeye, peaking about a month earlier, and usually keeps abdomen straight. In fine weather, males patrol low over water or sit on floating leaves, where they fight for strategic positions near open areas. They quickly move to nearby vegetation when the sun goes in, often\nlanding in trees. Eggs are laid, while in tandem, into stems and leaves of floating and sometimes emergent plants. Egg-laying often underwater, still in tandem.\nBreeding habitat: Closely associated with floating leaves, typically water-lilies, but also pondweeds and other floating vegetation.\nFavored sites include larger ponds, lakes and flooded mineral workings, canals, large drains and slow-flowing rivers, with floating leaves of water lilies or pondweeds.\nFlight Season: From April to August, with a peak in June.\nDistribution: M. Europe, except the Mediterranean and the far North.\n\nThis is a quite common Species in the Netherlands for the described Habitats.$

Also lakes and a wide range of man-made habitats.\nFlight Season: From the start of May to the end of September.\n\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
