Description:
This remarkably beautiful insect showed up at my porchlight this evening and I'm baffled. I think it's a caddisfly (Trichoptera) but I've gone through hundreds of images on BG and Google Images and can find no match. Note how the outer part of the FWs are crumpled and notched. FW is about 10mm, total length is 14mm excluding the 22mm-long antennae. I must be overlooking something.
