Hoodcase Maker - Molanna blenda
Groton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
March 28, 2009
Size: 22mm case
I found a couple of these caddisfly larvae, and what was really odd about them is how flat they were, the cases were shaped just like a flounder.

Molannidae: Molanna sp.
Not quite a uenoid. The cases are very different. Can put a species name on it when I get the larva.
