Die Larven der Köcherfliegen, hier Philopotamus sp., entwickeln sich in Gewässern. Der wiss. Name der Köcherfliegen "Trichoptera" bedeutet Trichos = Haar und Pteron = Flügel. Warum, ist hier gut zu erkennen.

Old Carr Stream has plenty of Caddisfly (Trichoptera) larvae.
Top, Northern Limnephelidae), 1 with a case of snail shells (front of the larva emerging), others with mosaics of tiny stones.
Below are Little Black (Glossosomatidae), the larger one maybe of subfamily Agapetinae.

Which have you got, Wallace & Flint or Barnard & Ross? Both are good in different ways, but I think it's worth having both assuming you're happy to check specimens (topical!). You will also find the Trichoptera fennoscandinavica website trichoptera.senckenberg.science/Trichoptera%... useful.

A very cool find! a larva of 𝐼𝑡ℎ𝑦𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑎 sp. (#trichoptera Hydroptilidae) from the River Mimram. People have always assumed that these were 𝐼. 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑠 but it's indistinguishable from the other British species (𝐼. 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑎). This specimen will be barcoded #GeneFlow24 #NHM #taxonomy #chalkstream

I first heard about caddisflies thanks to the amazing artist Hubert Duprat. 🐛 He famously allowed them to build casings with e.g. gold and diamonds in the 1980s. 💎
These legendary creatures deserve more than the filth we flush their way. They deserve clean water!! 18/x

"Caddisfly" is a term for ~14,000 species of insects in Order Trichoptera.
They are characterized by aquatic larva followed by a brief terrestrial adulthood where they resemble moths, often living just long enough to breed & lay eggs in water then die.
Also... they can make JEWELRY. Bling bugs.

When beavers flood former terrestrial ecosystems, they can physically alter the #riparianzone and #biodiversity of the benthic habitat. This transformation increases invertebrate abundance, diversity, and supports more lentic species, including bat's main aquatic prey, Diptera and Trichoptera. 🪰🦟

Limnephilus pati was first described by Irish entomologist Dr James O'Connor in 1980. Present in Ireland, it was believed to be extinct from our nearest neighbour. However, this is now the third site the species has been recorded from in Britain since 2020.
