Arktische Smaragdlibelle

     (from Boudot & al. 2009:161): Somatochlora arctica is a boreoalpine species that is largely confined to peat bogs. Compared to S. alpestris, it occurs at lower altitudes and is therefore more widespread in the area. The species is known from all mountain areas in France, Italy and Slovenia, and from a relatively isolated population in Bulgaria. Some localities are suffering from degradation by livestock and tourism development. Somatochlora arctica is likely to experience future habitat loss due the global warming and habitat desiccation.

Die Arktische Smaragdlibelle, Somatochlora arctica (Zetterstedt 1840), ist eurosibirisch verbreitet. Kosterin & al. (2001) beobachten die Art an kleinen und kleinsten Waldseen in Sibirien. Sie bewohnen selbst kleinste Wasserstellen in den Gebirgen, vorzugsweise leben sie an Seen oder Weihern mit Schwingrasen.
