Rhionaeschna mutata, the spatterdock darner, is a species of darner in the dragonfly family Aeshnidae. It is found in North America. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Spatterdock darners prefer ponds as their reproductive habitat. Specifically small, heavily vegetated, semi-permanent/ephemeral ponds that are fish-free with wooded riparian edges and sphagnum moss. [6]

The IUCN conservation status of Rhionaeschna mutata is "LC", least concern, with no immediate threat to the species' survival. The population is stable. The IUCN status was reviewed in 2017. [4] [7] [8]
