I'm just guessing this is B. appalachia, since I collected it at a time when that species was hatching heavily on this river system. Feel free to jump in and correct me if it's wrong!

This caddisfly was collected from the Catskills on May 13th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on May 18th, 2007.

This actually looks more like a hydropsychid to me, probably one of the lighter-winged species of Cheumatopsyche. I hope we can get one of the experts to take a look.
