Status
Rusty Snaketail (Ophiogomphus rupinsulensis) is a widespread snaketail of northeastern and midwestern rivers. This species shows a largely brown abdomen unlike several other Maryland Ophiogomphus. In Maryland, this dragonfly occurs along the Potomac and its larger tributaries, and also on Deer Creek, Harford Co. According to Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia, it is common on the upper section of the Potomac, while it remains uncommon elsewhere in the state.
