Carolina Saddlebags (Tramea carolina). This individual is a relatively early instar (I have seen larvae of this species measuring 23 mm). Features characteristic of the genus Tramea (the Saddlebag Gliders) include the following: absence of middorsal hook, spine, or knob on abdominal segments 6 and 7; lateral spines prominent on abdominal segment 8; and epiproct shorter than paraprocts. To the best of my knowledge, six species of Tramea are found in North America; of those, only Tramea carolina (the Carolina Saddlebags) is found in Delaware.
