Status
Eastern Red Damsel (Amphiagrion saucium) is a small, inconspicuous damselfly usually found around tiny seeps with an abundance of graminoid (grass-like) vegetation, and also sometimes occurs in bogs or marshes, in a similar grassy microhabitat (Paulson, 2011). This species is very widespread in Maryland, and also easily overlooked (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
