The Common Darter feeds on large numbers of small flying insects. They can even capture and eat honey bees. They are used for medicinal purposes in Japan and China and also as food source, eaten both as adults or larvae. | |||
Common Darters inhabit a wide range of still water areas including ponds, lakes, pools, and the calm waters of slow flowing rivers. They also are able to colonize brackish waters. The larvae are often found along the bottom of a water-body or in aquatic vegetation close to the surface. They mostly live in Europe, especially United Kingdom. Some of them can also be found in South Korea.
