Details
Status
The Aurora Damsel (Chromagrion conditum) is atypical for a coenagrionid, and is the sole representative of its genus. It is found at habitats with clear, not turbid, water, including ponds, beaverponds, at vegetated slow streams, and often in bogs or wooded swamps. This species often holds its wings partly open in a similar manner to a spreadwing, and has a distinctive yellow spot on the side of the thorax (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, it is considered uncommon, but occurs widely (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and District of Columbia). It is on the watch list (S3) for Maryland.
