Pale Bluet (Enallagma pallidum is related to Attenuated Bluet (E. daeckii) and Slender Bluet (E. traviatum). It typically is found at brushy swamps, lakes, and ponds, where it often perches in shade, similar to Attenuated Bluet. This coastal plain species is at the northern limit of its distribution in Maryland, and it is considered highly state rare (S1). There are recent records from three Eastern Shore counties (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
