Caddis
(Order: Trichoptera)
There are big cats and little cats, white cats, brown cats, black etc. They are all cats…
Cats have fur like a dog, two ears like a dog, four feet, a nose and the same life cycle. But they aren’t dogs they are cats. There is no such thing as a Cocker Spaniel kitten or a Persian puppy. There is no such thing as a Mayfly pupa or a Caddis nymph.
Caddis are aquatic insects like a Mayfly, but they aren’t Mayflies they’re Caddis.
There
are Caddis of all colors and sizes, but all Caddis flies are not the same.
