Status
Double-ringed Pennant (Celithemis verna) is a species found through much of the south. It frequents ponds with emergent vegetation (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, Double-ringed Pennant is known from three coastal plain counties (where the species is uncommon) and one on the Piedmont (Frederick Co.), where it is rare (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). It is ranked as S2 (state rare).
Description
The dark-colored, mature males are rather similar to male Martha's Pennant (Celithemis martha), which shows large, conspicuous dark basal patches on the hind wings. Double-ringed has reduced dark markings on the wings, so the wings are essentially clear (Paulson, 2011).
