Description

In winter, a small black caddisfly emerges from streams to complete its life cycle. The females don't bother with wings, unless, that is, they happen to emerge in summer.  These beautiful little caddisflies spend their larval lives filtering minute particles of organic matter from the water and cleaning the water in the process.
