Lessor Swallow Prominent, Pheosia gnoma., and a Caddisfly



Found both these insects after dark The first one just at rest on the front door frame. This  insect may not be a moth  at all, perhaps a Caddisfly?

This moth was close to an outside lamp by my front door the other evening. Is it the species known as the Shark?  Hoping to get an identification soon .

We now belive on good authority that the first photo is as I suspected a Caddis Fly. The second is the moth,  Lessor Swallow Prominent , Pheosia gnoma.
