Trichoptera: Cadisfly (3 mm) Taton: on the Myanmar border in Northern Thailand under a light early evening. There are apparently ~14,000 known species. Nocturnal. A white fluorescent or LED  light near or over a river in the evening is the only circumstance in which I've seen any of them. Low res'n phone image. 

I am a complete novice with this family. Over ten years I have seen only one species in my local area (Pathum Thani, Thailand) which is crossed by an extensive grid of slow moving canals (khlongs). Many Cadisfly larva inhabit only running water which probably accounts for their relative absence locally.
