Calopteryx aequabilis is a primarily northern species which has been detected as larvae in Maryland. It inhabits streams to medium-sized rivers with good water quality and extensive aquatic vegetation. It may occur with Ebony Jewelwing, but will also use larger rivers than that species (Paulson, 2011).
