Comments | This is a northern species, occurring in the East southward only to NJ, PA, and OH. It is considered to be abundant, and one reference calls it the most common dragonfly in Canada. It is reported from NC in one or more references -- including Bick and Mauffray (1997-2004), but no data are available, and there are no specimen records from Cuyler. Older reports of this species could possibly be related to confusion of common names -- i.e., reports of Four-spotted Pennant might be transcribed as Four-spotted Skimmer instead.
