Dragonhunter (Hagenius brevistylus) is the largest gomphid in North America. Its large size, long legs, proportionately small head, and scarcely-developed club are very distinctive if seen well. This aggressive and fearless species feeds largely on other odonates, plus other large insects like butterflies (Paulson, 2011). It occurs across Maryland at creeks and rivers, but is generally regarded as uncommon (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
