Municipalities in Arizona and Nevada along the Colorado River are subject to seasonal mass emergences of a nuisance net-spinning caddisfly, Smicridea fasciatella McLachlan (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae). Here, we describe the characterization and field testing of S. fasciatella extracts to evaluate t...
