Black Saddlebags (Tramea lacerata) is the most widespread species of saddlebags in North America, and it breeds in a large range of ponds, lakes, or wetlands with dense submerged vegetation. This species is highly mobile, and is frequently found feeding far from suitable breeding habitat. The species is a strong migrant, and can sometimes accumulate in large concentrations near the coast (Paulson, 2011). This is a common and widespread dragonfly in Maryland, known from all counties (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
