Sphagnum Sprite (Nehalennia gracilis), as its common name suggests, is strongly associated with boggy habitats with an abundance of sphagnum mosses (like bogs, slow creeks, etc.) but may occasionally be found in vegetated habitats without moss present (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, this beautiful species is distributed primarily along the coastal plain, on both the Eastern and Western shores, where it is found very locally in bogs (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). It is ranked as S2 (state rare).
