Window winged sedge (Hagenella clathrata)
This caddisfly lives in pools that occur on bogs and heathland, and on only 10 sites in the UK. Adults emerge and fly between May and early June in the south and between June and early July in the north. It is very sensitive to trampling and habitat loss from pools drying out when trees invade the pools.
