Abstract

Aeshna affinis, known as “Southern Migrant Hawker, Blue-eyed Hawker” is a native odonate species uncommon in many areas of the Iberian Peninsula. Field observations in Andalusia, the southernmost peninsular region, are notably scarce. Several photographs of one larva of this species, as proof of its reproduction in southern Spain, are provided.
