Triaenodes
Great picture - One of the Triaenodes - the small black dorsal areas should be distinctive but I don't know what it is. Did you keep it?

Thanks!
I didn't, but I think it was back last night (or one just like it). Would you like it if it shows up again?

if you get a male I should be able to figure out what it is.

Thanks so much for
your ID of Triaenodes injusta! I see we have no guide pages here below just Triaenodes, so I guess it'll have to stay here.

Is gender
obvious with these? I don't know how to tell caddisfly gender.

in general
males have complex parts at the rear end, females have simple parts. In Triaenodes the female has a cup-like ventral surface at the abdomen apex, often with a ball of eggs still attached.

I caught one...
I'd send you an email, but you have no contact info posted here.

What should I do with it?
