| Provincial Status Summary | |
| Status: | S5 |
| Date Status Assigned: | April 29, 2015 |
| Date Last Reviewed: | March 15, 2023 |
| Reasons: | This species is widespread east of Coast Mountains and north of 52 degrees N. Their favoured habitat is common, especially on the central plateau and in the north; overall threats are likely minimal. |
| Range | |
| Range Extent: | G = 200,000-2,500,000 square km |
| Range Extent Comments: | These species is found primarily north of 52 degrees N, east of the Coast Mountains with a few scattered localities in the south, although there are no records for the southwest of BC. |
| Occurrences & Population | |
| Number of Occurrences: | E = > 300 |
| Number of Occurrences with Good Viability / Ecological Integrity: | Rank Factor not assessed |

| Threats (to population, occurrences, or area affected) | |
| Degree of Threat: | D = Low |
| Comments: |
The preferred habitat for this species is common in the northern portion of BC (open boreal fens and bogs, as well as marshes and beaver ponds with abundant mosses and sedges) and there will be wetland threats such as drainage, pollutants, sedimentation and development, however the number of locations and remoteness dissipates many of the threat scores. |
