Status
Stream Cruiser (Didymops transversa) is usually active as an adult relatively early in the odonate season, peaking before many other dragonfly species are active. The species mostly inhabits sandy streams and rivers, but also often at lakes or reservoirs, where they patrol a section of shore repeatedly. They often hunt for flying insects in grassy fields away from the immediate breeding habitat (Dunkle, 2000). Stream Cruiser is common in Maryland, and has been found in most counties (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
