Caddisfly - Phryganea grandis is Britain's largest caddisfly and is also called the large red sedge. There are about 190 other caddisfly species in Britain.
Another British species is Enoicyla pusilla which lives on land in its larval stage then completes its life-cycle among vegetation near water.
What is the scientific name for the caddis fly?
There are hundreds perhaps thousands of species of caddis flies in the World. Below find a link for caddis flies of just Minnesota; one of which is endangered and the others are of special concern.
From MN. DNR's site: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ets/index.htm...
"A species is considered endangered if the species is threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range within Minnesota."
"A species is considered a species of special concern if, although the species is not endangered or threatened, it is extremely uncommon in Minnesota, or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements and deserves careful monitoring of its status. Species on the periphery of their range that are not listed as threatened may be included in this category along with those species that were once threatened or endangered but now have increasing or protected, stable populations."

As you can see, it's impossible to give a genus and sp. w/o a common name. :)
