Sympetrum Baccha
''Sympetrum'' is a genus of small to medium-sized skimmer dragonflies, known as darters in the UK and as meadowhawks in North America. The more than 50 species predominantly live in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere; no ''Sympetrum'' species is native to Australia. Most North American darters fly in late summer and autumn, breeding in ponds and foraging over meadows. Commonly, they are yellow-gold as juveniles, with mature males and some females becoming bright red on part or all of their bodies. An exception to this color scheme is the black darter (''Sympetrum danae''). The genus includes the following species: *''Sympetrum ambiguum'' – blue-faced meadowhawk *''Sympetrum anomalum'' *'' Sympetrum arenicolor'' *'' Sympetrum baccha'' *''Sympetrum chaconi'' *''Sympetrum commixtum'' *''Sympetrum cordulegaster'' *''Sympetrum corruptum'' – variegated meadowhawk *''Sympetrum costiferum'' – saffron-winged meadowhawk *''Sympetrum croceolum'' *''Sym ...

Sympetrum Fonscolombii
The red-veined darter or nomad (''Sympetrum fonscolombii'') is a dragonfly of the genus ''Sympetrum''. Taxonomy There is genetic and behavioural evidence that ''S. fonscolombii'' is not closely related to the other members of the genus ''Sympetrum'' and it will at some time in the future be removed from this genus. Etymology ''Sympetrum fonscolombii'' was named under the protonym '' Libellula fonscolombii '' by the Belgian entomologist Edmond de Sélys Longchamps, in 1840, in honor of the French entomologist Étienne of Fonscolombe (hence the species name).Sélys-Longchamps, de, E. 1840. Monographie des libellulidées d'Europe. ''Libellula fonscolombii'' , Librairie Roret, 220 pages, Paris Its name is sometimes spelt ''fonscolombei'' instead of ''fonscolombii'' but Askew (2004) gives the latter as the correct spelling. Distribution ''Sympetrum fonscolombii'' is a widespread and common species in much of central and southern Europe including most Mediterranean islands, North A ...

Sympetrum Depressiusculum
''Sympetrum depressiusculum'', or, the spotted darter, is a dragonfly species from the family Libellulidae, distributed across temperate parts of Eurasia. Description Adults reach 29 to 34 mm in body length, of which 20–24 mm is abdomen. Males are distinguished by a flattened orange abdomen with a line of drop-shaped spots along each side and clubbed overall appearance - i.e. widest at the tip. They closely resemble males of the ruddy darter, which have more evenly flattened abdomen and noticeably darker pterostigmata. Adults fly in the late summer. They are weak fliers. Habitat and distribution left, Female It breeds in temporary water bodies, which dry out in the autumn and are re-filled in late spring when the snow melts. It can also colonize reservoirs and paddy fields where such water dynamic is maintained by humans. Furthermore, it is thought to have spread across some parts of Europe thanks to carp aquaculture which creates similar conditions. The speci ...
