Field Notes
Description:
This specimen was about 1.5 cm big.
Trichoptera:
Also called sedge-flies / rail-flies, they are small moth-like insects having two pairs of hairy membranous wings. They are closely related to Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) which have scales on their wings, and the two orders together form the superorder Amphiesmenoptera. The larvae of many species make protective cases of silk decorated with gravel, sand, twigs or other debris. The name "Trichoptera" comes from Greek: θρίξ - hair and πτερόν - wing. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caddisfly)
Habitat:
Caddisflies have aquatic larvae and are found in a wide variety of habitats such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, spring seeps, and temporary waters (vernal pools). This spotting was made on the very shore of the river Sava.
