2020-08-13 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Ellevehøjvej. A pleasant surprise to have this male perching right in front of me. Normally I only seem them flying or taking flight from a good distance. |

2021-07-06 Sorthat Skovområde (bornholm), Denmark Imago ♀ Safirsøen. Think it is a female with not so blue eyes and a lot of black on top of the abdomen. |

2021-07-07 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Fasanskoven. Mature male with the strong blue color on the abdomen. Even when perched the characteristic upward curve at the base of the abdomen is obvious. |

2021-07-07 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Fasanskoven. Another male than 510, but in the same spot. Unusual to me to find two individuals of this species perched for a longer time. But conditions were favorable in a protected clearing with the hot sun baking on an otherwise windy day. |

2023-08-02 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Granathøj. Both a male and a female were present showing only slight interest in each other. And no bother to the affinis [Sydlig Mosaikguldsmed] males either. |
