The dragonfly or damselfly

It was first described by Abbott ug Hibbitts in 2011.

Dragonflies and damselflies are aerial predators as adults and aquatic predators as nymphs. Both stages need unpolluted water.

An insect has six legs and, in winged forms, one or two pairs of wings. Most named species in this catalog are known from a type series and a locality, not from a popular field guide.

Range and habitat

Sarracenia Spiketail is recorded from United States.

GBIF currently lists 13 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
