Vandhul Troelstrup Bygade. Teneral.

Photo 1 is how we found it and the other two after placing it in the sun and warmth, where it flew off shortly after.

Interesting to know that it appears in Green Hawker habitat, in a pond with an extensive number of Water Soldiers [Krebseklo].

2023-08-17    Svanesøen (Lynge), Denmark

Imago ♀

Patrolling too fast and too close to come up with more than this. Lucky shots even though, shot from the hip.

A female with blue markings on the abdomen and somewhat small markings on S9-10.

Was flying shortly with 2212. Easier to catch than the elusive female.

Imago ♂
Small rainwater basin.

Poor photo but not often to find the species patrolling like this in the open.

Same as 2372.

Imago ♂

When flying I normally see this species away from water and breeding habitats patrolling shady corridors in forests. This one therefore is in breeding mode, likely confirmed by the presence of the egg-laying female in 2373.

Same as 2265.
