Moth or Caddisfly? - Halesochila taylori
Fay Lake by Big Meadows, Linn County, Oregon, USA

Size: 16mm

Limnephilidae
These are Halesochila taylori, one of the few Limnephilidae that have wings with a very distinct color pattern. The white "fuzz" that is taking over the specimen is some kind of fungus. The specimens had either laid their eggs and died or had succumbed to the fungus while emerging. I suspect the latter as the wing coloration has not darkened up yet.
