This specimen keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.

fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or

We will hold our 5th annual streambank and roadside clean-up on the Little Juniata River on Saturday, April 10th. Meet at the Spruce Creek United Methodist Church at 9 am. In addition to keeping the river a little more beautiful, we thank and invite all the landowners who we are indebted to, for allowing public access. We also make a standing offer to all "j" bank owners to clean-up any and all trash left on their property. With enough volunteers, we will extend our clean-up miles once again, including all the waters between Bellwood and the Frankstown Branch (more than 20 miles). It's a good opportunity to give a little back and to see stretches on the "j" you never new existed. Last year we had over 100 people show up.

Marked it on my calander. Hopefully will be able to attend this year. I never usually hear about it until a couple days before and usually had plans. Now this year I got a heads up.
