Posts: 921		Based on wings being shiny black rather than dull, and it not having been collected in the West, it is most likely M. sepulchralis.

Posts: 2021		Thanks Roger. I'm glad someone around here knows their caddisflies!

Now that I've finally finished getting the new site up, I'm going to start learning my bugs a little better too, especially my caddisflies.
