This distinctively-ringed species is usually found on creeks or small rivers with sand or gravel deposits, rocks, and medium current, generally within forested landscapes (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, this dragonfly is only recorded from Garrett County, where is it considered to be rare (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). It is currently ranked as S1 (highly state rare).
