Vagrant Darter Dragonfly (Sympetrum vulgatum)

The vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum) is a European dragonfly. The species takes its English name from its habit of occasionally appearing as a rare vagrant north of its normal range. However, it is likely to be under-recorded because it is very similar to the common darter (S. striolatum).

 

The species is common in central and northeast Europe. It breeds in standing water.
