Reported as an adult
Usually reported as an adult early August to early November, middle week Oct 4–10.
From 439 records that are marked as adults. Not every photo is marked with a life stage, so this shows when people reported it as an adult, not when adults are about.
Reported as a larva
No records here are marked as larvae yet, so there is no larva season to show. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.
What these results show
These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
Identification
How to identify it
Telling it apart
From what Ohio’s records show. Only what the records support is shown.
Ruby MeadowhawkSympetrum rubicundulumOften confused in Ohio: 21 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
White-faced MeadowhawkSympetrum obtrusum104 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
Band-winged MeadowhawkSympetrum semicinctum67 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
Wandering GliderPantala flavescens29 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
Blue-faced MeadowhawkSympetrum ambiguum26 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.

Sources
Where these results come from
Records from iNaturalist research-grade observations and expert-identified GBIF datasets, CC0, CC BY and CC BY-NC. Sources
Seasons use the published method and its evidence thresholds. Methods
A spreadsheet (CSV) with a link to each record, on iNaturalist or GBIF. Records whose location was hidden by the observer or the source are counted but not linked.
