Darters are the smallest of the large dragonflies. There are a number of darter species. In the coastal region and on the islands, the following darter species are found: black darter, yellow-winged, ruddy darter, common darter and the vagrant darter. They are often found in the vicinity of stationary waters. Male darters usually have a reddish body. Yellow-winged and ruddy darters are typical migratory dragonflies. They often fly in large groups and when the conditions are good, high in the sky.

Heidelibellen zijn de kleinste van de grote libellen. Een aantal soorten heidelibellen komen in de kuststreken en op de eilanden voor. De mannetjes van heidelibellen hebben meestal een roodachtig lichaam.
