Habitat.
Neogerris lubricus
has usually been found in the margins of pools, ponds, lagoons, lakes, marshes, ditches and reservoirs exposed to sunlight and with floating and emergent vegetation (
Nieser 1970b
, 1994;
Nieser & Melo 1997
;
Aristizábal-García 2002
;
Melo & Nieser 2004
). It has also been collected in streams, rivers, and very slow-flowing stretches of streams (

, 1994;
Aristizábal-García 2002
;
Franco
et al.
2020
;

et al.

), as well as in stagnant waterbodies in and near lotic habitats (potholes in streams; pools along dry streams) (
Melo & Nieser 2004
;
Dias-Silva
et al.
2013
). This species also has been taken at lights (
White 1879b
;

et al.

).
At the INR, specimens were collected from the margins of the Iberá Lagoon in shallow waters with emergent and floating vegetation (Estévez
et al.
2003).
