The Vesper Bluet (Enallagma vesperum) is a pale, elongate damselfly whose common and scientific names reference late evening vesper prayers, referring to its frequent crepuscular activity. This species is found at ponds and lakes with vegetation nearby. Vesper Bluets often perch on aquatic vegetation, like water lilies, especially in late evening to twilight (Paulson, 2011). This bluet is considered uncommon but widespread in Maryland (Richard Orr's Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). Vesper Bluet can sometimes be overlooked due to its preferred time of day to visit the breeding habitat. It is ranked as S3 (watch list).
