| | | 4 Caddis Flies to ID
A tester for the Caddis Fly experts out there.
I took these 4 pictures (A, B, C, D) last year can anyone ID any of them.
I have tried looking at various websites but just get bogged down with the quantities     |

Think D may be a moth.

I think A appeared once on WAB ages ago but I'm afraid the genus name escapes me. C looks like a Limnophilus sp. whilst D does look moth-like.

The fringed wings makes me think D might be one of the Hydroptilidae - I think people call them micro-caddis flies.
A might be an Arthripsodes sp. and B a Tinodes sp. - I'm least sure about this last one.

I agree with A, although Leptocerus was the synonym I was going to use.

C looks possibly like Limnephilus lunatus. | | |
