Limnephilus sp.
Determination by Dave Ruiter. He has examined the specimen and adds this, "this appears to be a member of the L. sitchensis group but I do not recognize it. It may be a new species but you will need a male to be sure."

Davis
I plan to be in Davis by sometime friday and then through the weekend for a caddis workshop if you want to stop by. You can ask Brady about it as I expect he will bet here as well. It would be great to meet you.

Thank you Dave!
Moved from Northern Caddisflies.

I appreciate your ID help on these caddisflies. This coming Friday they will all be driven down to Chico and given over to Brady for closer examination. I am looking forward to his results!
