Notes

Flight period: II April - I October

The species in the study area is found in three main habitats: 1) medium or large lakes with open waters (e.g. Lakes Como, Pusiano and Annone); 2) large and clean rivers, in particular the Adda and Mera CO, which are the only rivers at which the species is found in the study area; and 3) mountain watering or firefighting ponds up to 1750 m a.s.l. It is surprisingly absent at Lake Lugano and lacks recent confirmation at Lake Alserio, whereas its absence in the highly urbanised Monza and Brianza Province is not surprising.
