User's notes
This caddisfly was flying with about 20 others but dropped into the water. I rescued it by offering it a stick to cling to and popped it into a small container, then took it home to photograph. Found at the Murrumbidgee River, north of Pine Island.

Family Hydropsychidae, probably species of Cheumatopsyche, but difficult to tell from photo.
