Thanks Dave.
I just noticed that this is the only caddisfly of this species that has been positively ID'd on BugGuide. If I can get my act together, would you be interested in having me send you some so you can ID them with specimen in hand? Also, is a picture like this helpful for species identification?

Correction: You identified one other for me of this species.
