A pretty common species found in just about any vegetated water habitat. Very easy to identiify thanks to the four spots on the wings, two front, two back on each side which is what their Scientific name of quadri (four) maculata (spots) means. In Europe this species is known as Four-spotted Chaser with the same Scientific name.
I've never noticed the bright whtae face on mature insects in the European versions but presume I just overlooked it. This is a very territorial insect although they usually become more social later in the day.
Enjoy this insect from May to late August.
