Looks like the final instar.
Looks like the final instar. The larvae is starting to show adult colors between the eyes and the "backpack" where the wings are is pigmented and very developed. Nice shots!

Thanks -
for submitting these nice images! Given your background, I'll move directly to species page. If you have ID'd photos, you can place them directly into the appropriate guide page rather than in ID Request...
