Flight period: III May - I October

It is found along a wide variety of rivers, ditches and lake shores of the study area, even within urban areas and mainly in the absence of riparian vegetation, in the lowlands and valley bottoms. It is one of the very few species breeding in Como Lake. Dispersing individuals have been observed far from their breeding habitats, even in mountains (max. elevation: 1059 m a.s.l.).
