It is found in Central America and North America.[2][3][4][5] And prefers habitats like lakes, ponds, marshes and stream pools with edge vegetation including many with alkaline water conditions [6] Larvae sustain themselves on a diet of aquatic insects,very small fish and tadpoles. The adult-stage will eat almost any soft-bodied flying insect. [6]
