Activity period in Egypt: Throughout the year.
Remarks: E. aeneus is extremely common in Upper as well as Lower Egypt ( Efflatoun 1922). It is a distinctly
anthropophilic species, preferring coastal lagoons, ponds, slow-moving rivers, streams and irrigation ditches. Adults fly very fast and low over ground-level vegetation, settling on bare ground and rocks, as well as on vegetation. They visit yellow composites and white umbellifers ( De Buck 1990). The rat-tailed larvae filter bacteria from polluted water, particularly brackish water.
