The Wandering Glider, a close relative of this Spot-winged Glider, is the dragonfly with the widest distribution worldwide of any odonata species. Still the two gliders I have been able to photograph in Maine have both been Spot-wings. 🙂
This appears to be a very fresh specimen. The pattern on the abdomen will quickly fade. As it is it is certainly a striking bug.
