Caddisfly Case (Order Trichoptera)

This case was really cool because the end was "sealed" with mesh. When a larval caddisfly gets ready to pupate, it covers the end of its case with mesh to protect it from predation while in its helpless, pupal stage.

Habitat: Pond

    Awesome! I've honestly never found one of these, and I'm kind of ashamed of that! Must add to my bucketlist!

      Ohhh! you must look when you have a chance...most streams or ponds have them. In streams, I generally find them stuck to the bottom of rocks. In ponds, just scoop up some muck near the edges and see what you find :). Posted 5 years ago

      Me neither, but I have an excuse: did not know they existed. Posted 5 years ago
