Sumpf-Heidelibelle
© Clemens M. Brandstetter
(from Boudot & al. 2009:205): it has a wide range from western Europe to Japan. In Europe it has a scattered distribution. Locally it can be very numerous and it prefers rice paddles, fish ponds, swamps and seasonally dry water bodies. Sympetrum depressiusculum was widespread and abundant in rice fields of the Rhône delta and the Po plain, but has suffered a serious decline due to changes of management. Records of S. depressiusculum from Sardinia and Sicily are old and originate from unrealiable sources, for which reason they have been omitted. An old record form northeastern Algeria has never been confirmed and probably either refers to vagrants or to a misidentification. Major threats for S. depressiusculum are changes in wetland management and habitat degradation induced by climate change.

In Mitteleuropa ist die Sumpf-Heidelibelle, Sympetrum depressiusculum (Selys 1841), stark gefährdet, da sie an flachmoorigen Gewässern leben, die einem starken Nutzungsdruck unterliegen oder aus den verschiedensten Gründen trockengelegt werden. Schröter (2010) meldet die Art aus Nord-Kirgisistan.
