The Carolina Saddlebags (Tramea carolina) is a species of the eastern United States. Within Texas the species may be found in the eastern portions of the state. The red maculation on the wings is a little more extensive than other Tramea species, including the anal loop. The first 2 images on this page show a male Carolina Saddlebags in Jasper Co., Texas, in June, 2009. | |
The female Carolina Saddlebags in the next two images was in Austin, Travis Co., Texas, in November, 2010. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash. These shots represented only the 2nd record of the species in the Austin area (it is usually found farther east) as well as a new late date for the species in Texas. | |
The Carolina Saddlebags in this shot was at the Red Slough Wildlife Management Area, McCurtain Co., Oklahoma, in May, 2011. | |
The next two shots of a male Carolina Saddlebags were taken in Conway, Horry Co., South Carolina, in May, 2012. | |
