Identification of macroinvertibrate

While working with a group of teachers, we collected a pond sample and found a macroinvertibrate that I didn't know the name of. It was about two cm long, clear transparent yellow, funnel shaped at both ends, and had a couple of pairs of dark brown organs. If anyone can give me any information I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    Allen,
    I encourage you to take Sean up on is offer! He is a water and bug superstar!!! If there are any costs incurred, please let me know. We can help subsidize your shipping and ID costs.

    I'm eager to know what you have found! I LOVE the mystery bugs! :)

    Sean,
    I did not have my camera, and I didn't keep the specimen.
    Can you identify it from my description or do I have to go hunting again (only this time, be more prepared)?
