Status

Double-striped Bluet (Enallagma basidens is a relatively recent addition to the eastern fauna, having undergone a relatively rapid range expansion from the southwest during the twentieth century (Lam, 2004). It is now found through much of the mid-Atlantic region. This diminutive species is among the smallest bluets species, and it can easily be overlooked in the dense vegetation lining the ponds and lakes it typically inhabits (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
