About the species Caddisflies
About the species
Insects whose larvae, in many species, build protective cases from pebbles, sand or plants.
Where to find it by the water
The larvae live in streams, rivers and ponds on the bottom and among stones. Adults fly in the evening near the bank.
What this means for anglers
It is a common food of trout and grayling, so fly anglers imitate both the larvae and the adults with artificial flies.
When it is observed
Records by month in the areas around the fishing districts (GBIF).
