Limnephilus
looks like one of the species in the L. castor group but I cannot tell which species from a photo.

L. castor
There's no page for L. castor. Should I request one be added?

it is not L. castor
And I was wrong about it being within the L. castor GROUP of species - The group name is actually the Limnephilus morrisoni group. I just see L. castor so frequently L. castor that is what popped into my mind. Glad you wrote back so I can fix it.

I do not know which species within the L. morrisonni group it is and I cannot tell the species in the L. morrisoni group them apart without looking at their private parts. So, unless you kept the specimen, leave it at Limnephilus sp.

Making changes.
I read somewhere in one of the forums that a comment can be changed only if it hasn't been replied to, which makes sense - changing a previous comment could make a reply look silly; it could also distort the deductions used to get from A to Z.

As for making ID mistakes, I think I hold the record on that.   :-P)
