Trichoptera (order) (Unidentified Caddisfly)
ADULTS: moth-like, but with membranous wings; short-lived
LARVAE: aquatic; useful indicators of water quality, as they are sensitive to pollution; many build portable, protective cases from sand or vegetation; the structure of the case may help identification to family, or even genus level
