2021-06-16 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark
Imago ♂ Fandens hul. Spotted! it flyving, and only saw it flying insistently forth and back in front of me at slow speed, but not slow enough to get good photos. Likely a male with the narrow waist. The size of the yellow abdominal spots is difficult to judge due to blurriness. Ædel. |

Imago ♂ First time I manage to see this species perched. At first it behaved as they normally do, patrolling endlessly in front of me. But after 5 minutes it finally calmed down. But only long enough for me to take the photos, whereafter it took off again. |

Imago I think there are more than one involved here, but all are males by the narrow waist. |

Imago ♂ At least two animals present and flying around me. I'm not sure if all photos are of the same individual. Actually the last photo of the animal seen from below looks like it doesn't have the triangled lower appendage of the male, why it could be a female. Though, I'm not sure if the females behave like this..? |

2024-06-04 Ejby Mose (Glostrup), Denmark
Imago ♂ I had spotted a metallica [Glinsende Smaragdlibel] but this one showed up too when going through the photos. I did perceive two animals in flight at the same time, but couldn't see details in the field. I assume it's a male with restricted spots on the abdomen, which actually are very restricted even for a male. It could easily have gone unnoticed and perhaps as a metallica as well, thinking the spot-paleness was just the result of quick reflections in the sun. The abdomen shape is not that wrong for a metallica, but the long straight appendages are, but fit well on a flavomaculata. |

2024-07-06 Krebseklo-vandhullet/kirkegård (Hørsholm), Denmark
Imago ♂ Den våde eng ved krebseklo-vandhullet. 4 males present, constantly patrolling each their territory, at times clashing in dispute, but most of the time just flying forth and back hoping for a well-shaped goodiebag to come by. An individual with very small yellow marks, making them difficult to perceive in flight, but the slender body and the patrolling behavior in open air are good indicators of this species. |

2024-07-06 Krebseklo-vandhullet/kirkegård (Hørsholm), Denmark
Imago ♂ Den våde eng ved krebseklo-vandhullet. A more well-marked individual of the four males seen here today. But just wondering if I might have photographed two different animals here, because the amount of yellow on the abdomen is very different the two sides between. There was heavy interaction at times and maybe I lost track of which was which. |
