On 17 March 2012 at noon the author observed an individual of Sympecma sp. ovi- positing on a sunlit car, the colour of which was metallic caper green pearl. It repeatedly touched the surface of the car with the ventral side of the body for ca. 20–30 seconds. Than it sat on the car and after a while !ew away. Though oviposition on cars is well known in aquatic insects, there are relatively few such reports on the Zygoptera damselflies. This may be due to the fact that they tend to stay closer to water bodies, than Anisoptera dragonflies.
