If we except a very {mall number of exotic Libellula, L. Grandis 
is the largeft infe&t of the genus known: it is certainly the largeft 
of the European {pecies. 
It is not uncommon in woods; but never flies far from the water. 
In the larva ftate it lives in the water, and, like others of the fame 
genus already defcribed in this work, does not quit it till it becomes | 
a winged creature. In the larva {tate it alfo refembles in its manners 
thofe voracious infects that devour fmaller infects, and in the winged 
ftate it takes moths and other weak infects in its flight. Is found in 
moft of the fummer months.
