[5] Capable of very long migration and nomadic flight, it reached Europe once, being recorded (a pair) at the island of Linosa, Sicily (Italy) in 2016 (Viganò et al. 2017).

Similarly, this species is able to use the trade winds to reach the Caribbean and South Americas, where it was caught in Suriname, "Guadeloupe" and "martinique" (Meurgey and Picard 2011).

It can be distinguished from other species of this genus by the two brownish black hind-wing patch surrounded by a golden yellow areola in the base.

[6] This species is found at pools, ponds, marshes, lakes and water tanks.

Typical reproducing habitats are grassy marshes and ponds, but this species may be found anywhere during migrations.
