Hi Cal, do you have one of those? I'm looking for one for research purpose. Thanks

Moved
Moved from Climacia.
Seems safe to call this Climacia areolaris based on the range info on the genus guide page.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Spongillafly cocoon for sure (the pupa is hidden inside it). The larvae feed on freshwater sponges, then crawl out of the water to spin these amazing structures.

Looks like
a Spongillafly pupa (Sisyridae):



But there may be other similar structures with which I'm not familiar, so please wait for a second opinion.

Welcome to BugGuide!
