This is a species of Caddisfly (Trichoptera). I'm not familiar with the North American species, but they all have much the same life history (with very few exceptions). The larvae are aquatic and many of them make portable cases. None of the species is a pest, and they have most likely been attracted by lights. Regards Tony
