Caddisfly? - Phryganea cinerea -

Aberdeen , Brown County, South Dakota, USA
July 16, 2012
Size: body:3/4in. span:2-1/4in

Caught out blacklighting near a large water-filled slew. Wings roofed over body.
P.S. I know its dead, but I collect bugs and kill them humanely as my hobby and enter them in 4-H, so pardon me!

good photo of a properly mounted specimen

thanks for posting it, Lucas.
BG is increasingly growing to include images of preserved specimens, so you don't need to worry about that at all. Keep them coming!

Moved from ID Request.

Giant Casemaker

We might need to correct the placement of this specimen.

I think this is Parapsyche elsis (Hydrospychidae: Arctopsychinae). If you zoom in on the left front wing, bottom right, you'll see a lobe. This is a character fo this group of hydropsychids. P. elsis is up your neck of the woods. See if these guys want it for their data
