Life stages:
Distribution:
Central Europe around the Alps and NE Europe from Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, Belarus and Ukraine and very localized eastward through Russia to Kazakhstan and Japan. Also present Denmark, Sweden and Finland. In Denmark only at Fandens Hul, Teglstrup Hegn, in NE Sjælland.

Status:
CR in Denmark. NT in Europe. VU globally. The only breeding site in Denmark is under pressure from growth and eutrophication. In the 90'es there were thousands here, but now seeing 20 in the season is a good result. The species is expected to die out despite of efforts to retore the locality.

2022-06-18 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark Imago ♂ og ♀ Different animals. The batch of useful photos from this day, permitting, being a lifer. It took a while to find them being restricted to a short stretch of waterside grasses around the open water. You're looking for a spreadwing-like type, small and with very conspicuous wing marks and whitish thighs. Depending on the quality of your eyesight, you might have to stick your head well down into the vegetation to spot them! |
