 Site Editor Royse City, TXPosts: 1350 | Based on wings being shiny black rather than dull, and it not having been collected in the West, it is most likely M. sepulchralis. | |

 Administrator Bellevue, WAPosts: 2737 | 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. | |
