The Kiowa Dancer in Arizona is common but locally distributed, and found mostly in the Southeast third of the state. This dancer had never been observed in Maricopa Co. until 2010, but has now been recorded at six county locations, suggesting rapid range expansion.

On 30 November 2014 15 individuals (photos below) were seen at Tres Rios Wetlands. This constitutes the largest number of individuals found to date at one location and at the same time in Maricopa Co.
