Status

Furtive Forktail (Ischnura prognata), as its common name suggests, is an uncommon, and often difficult species to find. This large, attenuated species of forktail lives in wooded swamps, ponds, wet cypress forest, and seepage swamp. It usually perches in shade, which can make this species tough to detect. In Maryland, this species was first discovered to occur in 2007, and has now been found in three Eastern Shore counties (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). It is ranked as S1 (highly state rare).
