Ogre Darner nymphs are . They dig vertical, mud-lined tunnels—up to 30 cm deep—into the saturated peat of their seepage habitat. The nymph waits at the tunnel’s mouth with only its eyes and the tip of its extendable lower lip (labium) exposed. It ambushes passing invertebrates and even small tadpoles, dragging them into the burrow.
The Ogre Darner is not considered to be a species of special concern on a global scale. However, like many other dragonfly species, their populations can be affected by habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Preservation of natural habitats and reduction of pesticide use are crucial for maintaining healthy dragonfly populations.
(often called "hanging swamps" or "soaks").
