Just emerged

Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, NJ

This was taken a few seconds after it escaped the larval skin. The wings have not started expanding yet, and the abdomen is stout, soft, and caterpillar-like in appearance. This insect is a male of the Gomphus subgenus of Clubtails, probably Lancet Clubtail.
