context_page_description: The large white-faced darter or yellow-spotted whiteface is a small dragonfly belonging to the genus Leucorrhinia in the family Libellulidae.
  This species is 32–39 millimetres long and is the largest member of its genus in Europe. It is easily identified by the large yellow seventh segment of its abdomen.
  It inhabits marshy borders and prefers less acidic waters than its close relative the white-faced darter. It occurs from western Siberia to parts of France. From England, there was only one record in Kent in June 1859 until two sightings in May 2012 in Suffolk.
