Epiaeschna heros, the swamp darner, is a species of darner in the dragonfly family Aeshnidae. It is found in eastern North America.[2][3][1][4] It is the only extant member of the genus Epiaeschna, a genus that is well-represented in fossil specimens found in Eurasia, suggesting a wider distribution during the mid-Cenozoic.[5]
The IUCN conservation status of Epiaeschna heros is "LC", least concern, with no immediate threat to the species' survival. The population is stable. The IUCN status was reviewed in 2017.[1][6][7]
The species has been witnessed feeding on Solenopsis invicta ants during nuptial flights.[8]
