Tube Maker Caddisflies

Polycentropodidae

Tube Maker Caddisflies are tiny insects that build special homes out of twigs and pebbles. They live in water and are great at hiding from fish and other animals.

生息地: Wetlands

外見

The Tube Maker Caddisflies are slender, moth-like insects with dull brown, grey, or black fuzzy wings covered in fine hairs. Their larvae, which live underwater, construct unique silken tubes often decorated with small pebbles or plant bits. They differ visually from true moths by their roof-like held wings and simpler antennae.
