I found this insect sitting on the wall, inside my office today (on the island of Crete, in Greece). It measures about 15mm, without the antennae. I think it belongs to order Trichoptera. What do you think?

And you are right Nice clear pic, which should allow id to genus. I'll try to find an expert if no-one else succeeds. Robert |

Thank you Robert! I wasn't expecting an ID to genus level, but if you can find anything out (even family), I would certainly appreciate it! When I first saw this insect, I thought it was a lacewing (order Neuroptera), but after I saw the photo on my computer I realized it wasn't and I went digging around to find out what it was. After a while I came to the conclusion it might be Trichoptera and I just needed confirmation on that. Thanks again! |
