The caddisfly larvae will form a protective sheet with whatever it can find. Wood, stones, snail shells…


In the 80´s french Artist Hubert Duprat supplied these little bugs with gold, pearls and crystals to create unique jewelry !




Here you can see them in their little shells.

And here’s an example of a finished product after the larvae transformed into an adult.

I LOVE CADDISFLIES!!!
i noticed them in the back river a couple years back and googled to make sure they weren't invasive
but apparently having them there is really good!! theyre an important food source for a lot of fish and they indicate good water quality!!
and their shells are so cool!!!
i keep meaning to make my own caddisfly jewelry sometime
