Helicopsychidae, Snail-case Caddisfly, Helicopsyche borealis - Helicopsyche Heritage Valley, Allamakee County, Iowa, USA May 25, 2007
Heritage Valley BioBlitz, Upper Iowa River. Captured and ID'd by the University of Iowa Hygienic Lab macroinvert guys, M Birmingham and T Hubbard (self avowed "bug nerds")
These are my most favorite Caddisfly cases so I was delighted when Mike and Todd gave me a couple, which I'm finally photographing.
