And the larvae are super duper cute! :) If you’re ever doing stream or pond monitoring/sampling and see what looks like a stick or tube of pebbles swimming on the surface of the water, that’s a caddisfly larva! They’re pretty small for a macroinvert so it takes a while to spot them. One of my faves for sure.
