Ischnura cervula, the Pacific forktail, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in Central America and North America.[2][3][1][4]
Ischnura cervula are often an intermediate host of the native damselfly species commonly infected by the parasite Haematoloechus longiplexus, which are introduced by American bullfrogs.[5]
The species appears throughout a comprehensive California Odonata database that covers over a century of records, highlighting its presence across the region. The data reveals how the species distribution has changed over time and recognizes patterns of freshwater biodiversity changes.[6]
The IUCN conservation status of Ischnura cervula is "LC", least concern, with no immediate threat to the species' survival. The population is stable. The IUCN status was reviewed in 2018.[1][7][8]
