The blue-winged demoiselle lives mainly near small to medium-sized streams and creeks.
They prefer a relatively low water temperature and a moderate to fast flow.
The water must not be nutrient rich (eutrophic).
In the northern part of their range, such as in Norway and Finland, it is also found near medium-sized rivers or even larger streams.
The waters are usually in the immediate vicinity of forests.
