Unique emerald with the yellow abdominal spots; larger on female than on male.
The male, as the other male emeralds has a narrow waist (narrowest on S3).

2021-06-16 Teglstrup Hegn, Sjælland, Denmark Imago. Male. 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. |

2022-06-25 Holmegaards Mose, Sjælland, Denmark Imago. Male. 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. |

2022-06-25 Holmegaards Mose, Sjælland, Denmark Imago. I think there are more than one involved here, but all are males by the narrow waist. |
