COSEWIC assessment and status report on the grappletail Octogomphus specularis in Canada.: CW69-14/812-2021E-PDF
"This dragonfly is known from only seven fast-flowing, warm streams that drain small lowland lakes in the mountains of the lower Fraser Valley in southwestern British Columbia. Here, the species is at the northern edge of a range that extends south to Mexico. Larvae forage for three years in streams while adults forage for only a few weeks in nearby forests. There are no estimates of population trends from about 150 observations in the past 90 years. Most streams where it occurs are in forested watersheds with few threats. However, local threats include roadkill at stream crossings and disturbance to the stream habitat by recreational vehicles"--Reason for designation, page iii.
