Exuviae - Aphylla williamsoni
Silver Bluff Audubon Center - Jackson, Aiken County, South Carolina, USA
June 22, 2007
I found this exuvia this morning and am wondering if it can be identified. The closest one I've ever seen was the Two-striped Forceptail pictured here , but there are no clamps at the end of this one as far as I can see. What other species would have the abdominal extension or is this probably a female?

Aphylla williamsoni
I agree with your identification. It has to be a Two-striped Forceptail.
