Looks like an adult.

Here in Ohio I once saw a juvenile. They have a gorgeous cobalt blue tail. Very striking.

I used to have lots of these where I built my house. Then I got married and my wife moved in with cats, who killed them all. That's just one reason I hate cats.

Your photos never cease to blow my mind. Unbefreekinlievable.
