Like the name says, it is common in Southern Quebec, probably familiar in most gardens and found in the types of habitat associated with weedy ditches and well vegetated ponds.
They fly June to August and are so distinctive that even the inexperienced can ID them although you might confuse them with Twelve-spotted Skimmers after a few beers at a picnic.
The top one is a female, the bottom four are three adult males and one young male, sexed by the blue webbing on the hind wings (thanks again Chris).
