Caddisfly?
Trichoptera? Do you have Merritt and Cummins?(1)

thanks!
I don't have it, would any further pictures help? I'll look at my school library for that book.

Have them buy it
If you're sampling insects near water you (your school, your lab) should have that book.

I don't know caddisflies. The small kind, according to Aquatic Insects of North America, should have pointed hind wing which I don't see here. But it seems to have hairs rather than scales as in the related order Lepidoptera.

I'll move it to the Caddisflies page and the experts can kick it out if it doesn't belong.
