Popis: A population of the petalurid dragonfly Tanypteryx hageni (Selys) was associated with springfed insectivorous plant bogs in California. Females oviposited and larval development occurred in acid water-logged substrates. The diet of late-instar larvae consisted primarily of surface inhabiting arthropods, mostly spiders. Collection of fresh exuviae revealed that adults emerged from ca. mid-May–early July. The most abundant groups of macroinvertebrates supported by the bogs were oligochaetes, and chironomid and tipulid larvae.
