🇺🇸 The green-eyed hawker (Aeshna isoceles) is a medium-sized dragonfly commonly found near still or slow-flowing waters such as ponds, marshes, and ditches across parts of Europe. It measures about 6 to 7 centimeters in length with a wingspan of up to 10 centimeters. Recognizable by its green eyes and a distinct amber-brown triangle on the second abdominal segment, it is a fast and agile flyer. Active mainly from May to July, it hunts small insects in flight. Unlike many dragonflies, the green-eyed hawker prefers densely vegetated wetlands, where it also lays its eggs on aquatic plants. Though often elusive, it plays a valuable role in controlling insect populations and indicates healthy wetland ecosystems.

🇩🇪 Die Keilflecklibelle (Aeshna isoceles) ist eine mittelgroße Libellenart, die häufig an stehenden oder langsam fließenden Gewässern wie Teichen, Sümpfen und Gräben in Teilen Europas anzutreffen ist. Sie wird etwa 6 bis 7 cm lang, mit einer Flügelspannweite von bis zu 10 cm. Auffällig sind ihre grün leuchtenden Augen und das bernsteinfarbene, dreieckige Fleckmuster auf dem zweiten Hinterleibssegment. Sie ist ein schneller, wendiger Flieger und hauptsächlich von Mai bis Juli aktiv, wenn sie im Flug kleine Insekten jagt. Anders als viele andere Libellenarten bevorzugt die Keilflecklibelle dichte Ufervegetation, wo sie auch ihre Eier an Wasserpflanzen ablegt. Trotz ihrer eher versteckten Lebensweise ist sie ein wichtiger Bestandteil gesunder Feuchtgebiete und hilft, Insektenbestände zu regulieren.
