Notes

Flight period: III May - III October

Rather widespread in the study area, especially in the lowlands and hills up to ca. 950 m a.s.l. It is found in marshlands, small and medium lakes and along minor, slow-flowing waterways rich in aquatic vegetation. It tends to avoid highly-urbanised areas, such as large parts of the Monza and Brianza Province. There is some evidence of decline due to habitat loss also for this still common species.
