Extremely rare visitor in the Ein Gedi area.

In Israel it is common along the Jordan. It is relatively easy to see it in Ein Gedi Nature Reserve and in Ein Prat.

In Israel it was first discovered in June 2018 in the Golan Heights. Since then the population has spread throughout the Golan Heights, especially in the north and up to Mount Hermon.

At first glance it can be confused with a female of Lake Skimmer.

In Israel, the skimmer maintains a small population in the north of the country.

Very similar to the Red Scarlet, distinguishing between them is difficult

Extinct from Israel with the draining of Lake Hula.

A medium-sized dragonfly, with a very short and dark pterostigma.

Skimmers tend to stand on 4 legs, with the front ones folded behind the head.

Not seen in Israel for many decades. It is still present in neighboring countries and there is a chance of occasional individuals in the country.
