Spot-winged Glider (Pantala hymenaea), like its more cosmopolitan relative, the Wandering Glider, is an extremely efficient and strong traveler, able to quickly locate and breed in frequently ephemeral water sources over large distances. This species generally prefers open, shallow temporary or newly-created bodies of water, usually without fish (Paulson, 2011). This species is widespread and considered common in Maryland, and has been recorded from all but one county (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
Similar to Wandering Glider, but usually a darker, more grayish color, and with conspicuous dark hindwing basal spots, lacking on Wandering (Paulson, 2011).
There are 232 records in the project database.
