Trichopteran

Description:

A trichopteran, also known as a caddisfly, is a small moth-like insect belonging to the order Trichoptera. These insects are characterized by their aquatic larvae and membranous wings held tent-like over their body when at rest. Trichopterans are commonly found near freshwater bodies and play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems as both prey and indicators of water quality.
