Amphipod (Hyalella sp.) on Caddisfly (Trichoptera) Case

This tiny amphipod was hiding out on a caddisfly's case. The head (and leg tips) of the caddisfly can be seen on the left of the case. Near the bottom are what appears to be eggs, but I'm not sure.

Habitat: Collected from a pond

  Thanks! This caddisfly case was unusual -- much smaller than others that I see. Plus, it seemed to be made out of seeds, which you will see once I upload more pics. Posted 3 years ago
