Rambur's Forktail is a common damselfly around the Caribbean.
On Curacao it is found whenever there is water. It also visits semi-salty waters like the canals in Punda and Salinas and can be found along the beaches in the south.
Ovipositing females have been found too, also on most waters and for example many at Muizenberg, Malpais, St Michiel and 'Kabouterbos' in Cas Cora. Muizenberg was by far the largest population with several 1.000's of individuals, including of course many copula and very fresh individuals in March 2009, after relatively much rain over a constant period from October the previous year. The species needs floating vegetation to lay her eggs in.
