Little Blue Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax minuscula) is a very small skimmer species, mostly southern in distribution, but extending sporadically north of the usual range. This species may be irruptive some years. It usually breeds in shallow, vegetated lakes, ponds, and wetlands (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, Little Blue Dragonlet has been recorded from half a dozen counties (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia), but is considered highly state rare (S1).
