Black head. Wings sparsely spotted. Spots never merge into median bands, and sometimes disappear almost completely. Pterostigma dark, poorly defined. Habitat: hedgerows and wood edges, especially where spider cobwebs can be found in the brambles or nettle beds. IT mostly feeds on dead or dying insects, which they frequently steal from spider webs but will also feed on live aphids and the juices from bird droppings. Although having wings they spend most of their time hunting in vegetation low to the ground.
