This guy has been sitting on my office window which is very close to the NF Snoqualmie. Is this a Golden Stonefly and if so isn't this an unusual time of year to hatch?

I can't see the picture super clear, but it looks like an October Caddis to me!

I too think october caddis, fly fishing entomology site, tent like wings.
I'm working on this stonefly from a hatch saturday, but I couldn't get a decent picture, quick little critters, and the one I found in my cap was kinda smooshed. Wings flat over back.

I was thinking tiny black, (winter stone, small brown complex from Western Hatches).

October Caddis makes more sense. It was so big I assumed it was some kind of Stonefly. Last October saw a few in flight but this is the first up close.

As far as I know, stonefly can fold their wings in more evolved way, put one wing upon another. Caddis cannot do like that, it folds its wing like A-frame tent shape.
