Caddisfly (Trichoptera)? - Rhyacophila
Copyright © 2009 Siobhan Basile

Caddisfly (Trichoptera)? - Rhyacophila
Epping, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, USA
September 24, 2009
Can someone help me identify this insect? I'm fairly sure this is a caddisfly and I went through the caddisfly guide and did not seem to find anything that matched this one. The closest I could find was these two: http://bugguide.net/node/view/279489/bgpage and http://bugguide.net/node/view/261649/bgpage but neither looks right.

This insect was attracted to the backdoor light. The lot is wooded, mixed deciduous/coniferous with a nearby river.

Thanks for your help.
