Aeshna juncea is fairly common in the south and east of The Netherlands. Although it has shown a decrease, it still inhabits most of its former range. The species is found in fens, bogs, heath lakes and other acidic, generally oligotrophic, habitats. It is absent from the Holocene part of the country. A. juncea is one of the more widespread moorland species, probably because of its tolerance of acidification and eutrophication.
