Tiger stripes, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5235

This find from the Drevviken nature reserve is to the best of my knowledge my first caddisfly. The exact species is without a question Mystacides longicornis due to the distinctly patterend wings.

 

Those things looking like some sort of dark jaws at the front are its maxillary palps which happen to be very large and dark on this genus.
