%X The Vagrant Emperor, Anax ephippiger (burmeister, 1839), is a migrant dragonfly species from africa and Middle East; in Europe only summer generation are known, without evidence of overwintering larvae. In august 2010 a reproductive breeding site for this species was found in the in Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region (north-eastern Italy). This discovery represents the first proof of reproduction for the species in north-eastern Italy. With the aim of increasing the knowledge on the species requirements, a study to delineate the emerging habitat was conducted: dragonfly community (adult and exuviae), vegetation, chemical and physical water parameters were sampled. This yielded data about larval tolerance toward salinity. This new data proves a northward move for the species, which may also have been facilitated by global warming
