Micro query



May I ask for help with these two? I am guessing that the one above may be Endothenia ericetania but the one below eludes my feeble ID powers in spite of being quite distinctive. Assistance much appreciated. 

Thanks again to Peter, too,  for the wonderful Puffin in a Moth Trap link. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon.

    The first one is Celypha striana, and the second is the caddisfly Mystacides longicornis, a regular feature at moth traps!

    Many thanks Martin - much appreciated. I should have recognised the first; and your explanation for the second reassures me that my scrutiny of the Micro Bible isn't completely useless. Much obliged! M
