Slender Spreadwing

Habitat:

Lakes or ponds with regular shade and dense emergent vegetation; often found in bays and sand-bottomed lakes.

Notes:

Males are easily recognized by combination of an unusually long abdomen, blue antehumeral stripe and paraprocts curving distinctly downward. Females are similar to Common Spreadwing (L. disjunctus), but have a pale tarsi and slightly longer abdomen.
