Description of Habitat/Range:
Found in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, this species prefers moderately-flowing, shaded, rocky forest streams and rivers, and occasionally large lakes with rocky, windswept shorelines. Throughout its range, ocellated darner is less common than fawn darner and has a spotty distribution that appears to be associated with granitic landscapes. It is not known from Wisconsin, but is common in the rocky streams along the Lake Superior coast of Minnesota as far south as Duluth; also known from streams on Isle Royale of Michigan.
Flight Season:
Early June to early October range-wide.
