  1. I was wondering, have you ever come across good documentation regarding caddiesflies? Can't find anything online nor specific books. Christine was wondering the same thing. Posted 4 years ago
    1. For Minnesota caddisflies I have been using a paper by David C. Houghton. Houghton, David C . (2012). Biological diversity of the Minnesota caddisflies (Insecta, Trichoptera). ZooKeys 189:1–389. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.189.2043. Unfortunately, there are few illustrations of actual caddisflies just gential dissections. But there are good descriptions and refernces to prefered larval habitat.

      There are other papers but very often you've got to search by genus to find them such as these examples:

      Nimmo, Andrew P. (1971) The Adult Rhyacophilidae and Limnephilidae (Trichoptera) of Alberta and Eastern British Columbia and Their Post-glacial Origin. Quaestiones entomologicae 7:3-234

      Resh, Vincent H. , Hannaford, Morgan , Jackson, John K. , Lamberti, Gary A., and Mendez, Patina K. (2011). The biology of the limnephilid caddisfly Dicosmoecus gilvipes (Hagen) in Northern California and Oregon (USA) Streams. Zoosymposia, 5:413–419.

      Schmid, Fernand. (1952). Les genres Glyphotaelius Steph. et Nemotaulius BKS (Trichop. Limnophil.). Bulletin de la Société Vaudoise des Sciences Naturelles 65(280):231-244.
