The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
This is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).

Similar question on this one, Lito. I think I get the female identification here (I can see the ventral view), but what is the reason for Hydropsyche as opposed to Ceratopsyche? (Or were you simply using the older generic epithet to include both?) Thanks, again.
