Nice
I like how this series shows the difference in male and female coloration/markings. These are hydropsychid caddisflies (Hydropsychidae), probably of Hydropsyche or Ceratopsyche.

Not moths:-)
Nice series of mating caddisflies, though.

Caddisflies, not moths
Thanks again, Eric. Ron suggested a book to help me understand insects better and it is ordered and on its way. I have a lot to learn :-)

Don't we all!
Hey, I'm supposedly an expert, and I've learned plenty here myself. Keep up the good work.
