  Gordon's Trichoptera Page
The name possibly arises from the ancient name for a travelling cloth salesmen who pinned samples of their wares to their coat, they were known as 'cadice men' and it is possible the name 'Caddis fly' is a reference to the cases many Caddis-fly larvae build from bits of debris.

 SPECIES Trichoptera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The adult Trichoptera possess a heavy covering of hairs on their wings, which are positioned in an inverted "V" over the body.
In their larval state the Trichoptera build larval cases from gravel, sand, and plant vegetation or in some cases a mixture all three.
Trichoptera are generally found in areas of fresh water, streams and stagnant ponds where they are a vital link in the food chain for fish and water birds.

Trichoptera are a sister group of Lepidoptera (Mackay and Wiggins, 1979) and also have the ability to produce silk.
Thus, larval Trichoptera utilize microhabitat distribution, temporal niche selection and defense behavior, in addition to case construction, as a means of avoiding predation and optimizing food and habitat resources.

 Order Trichoptera
The Trichoptera (caddisflies) belong to the infraclass Neoptera, division Endopterygota; their wings develop internally instead of externally in wingpads.
The wings of Trichoptera are covered with setae, from which the name of the order is derived (from the Greek "trichos"= hair, and "pteron"=wing).
These two findings point to cool, running waters as the most likely primordial caddisfly habitat, the one in which the ancestors of the Trichoptera first became aquatic and the one in which differentiation into the basic groups (superfamilies) took place (Williams and Feltmate, 1994).

 The Watershed: The Trichoptera of Halsingland
Caddisflies, or Trichoptera, are an order of drab-coloured insects that are of interest to fishermen and nature lovers alike.
The scientific name Trichoptera means "hairwings" (Trichos = hair, ptera = wings), which means that their wings are covered with hairs, unlike those of the butterflies, which are covered with scales (Lepidoptera = "scalewings", Lepidos = scale and ptera = wings).
This means that there are now 152 known species of Trichoptera for Halsingland.

 Trichoptera
The name Trichoptera, derived from the Greek words "trichos" meaning hair and "ptera" meaning wings, refers to the long, silky hairs that cover most of the body and wings.
The order Trichoptera (caddisflies) is another likely descendant of the Mecopteran lineage.

 Caddisfly and Larva - Order Trichoptera
Some species of caddisfly larvae use their own glue to assemble sand grains, bits of shell and even plant fragments into a tube in which they will hide.
(Trichoptera means "hair wing.") Caddisfly larvae are a favorite food of many fish, including trout, and are used as bait by fishermen.
The larvae are especially sensitive to water pollution and their numbers can be monitored over a period of time as a good indicator of water quality.

 Collier et al.--Adult Trichoptera and land use
Abstract The distribution of adult Trichoptera in light traps was investigated alongside nine streams draining catchments under native forest, pine forest, or pasture near Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand.
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between abundance, taxonomic richness, and community composition with respect to land use during summer, and to evaluate the use of adult Trichoptera compared with benthic invertebrates as potential bio-indicators of the effectiveness of land-management changes.
Adult Trichoptera faunas alongside the native streams were dominated by Hydrobiosidae, Conoesucidae, and Helicopsychidae (each >10% of total Trichoptera numbers for at least two of the three sites), whereas Leptoceridae, Oeconescidae, and Hydrobiosidae were relatively abundant alongside at least two of the pine sites.

 Amazon.ca: The Caddisfly Family Phryganeidae (Trichoptera): Books: Glenn B. Wiggins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
This book is an outstanding example of the museum tradition, offering the results of global research on the biosystematics of one of the families of case-making caddisflies, the Phryganeidae.
Contrasting colour patterns of the wings in some species of the Phryganeidae are interpreted for the first time in the Trichoptera as part of a protective warning system to deter predators.
Combined with fossil evidence that the Phryganeidae are the oldest of the case-making Trichoptera still extant, several of the atypical morphological and behavioural attributes discussed in this book can be interpreted as plesiomorphic, placing the Phryganeidae in a pivotal position for inferring phylogeny in the Trichoptera.

The Trichoptera are one of the major orders of aquatic insects and are of particular evolutionary and ecological interest because of the diversity of net and case-making behaviors of the larvae.
Relationships among the three recognized suborders of Trichoptera has been highly controversial, partly because the alternative hypotheses of suborder relationships support different evolutionary scenarios for the origin of larval case- and net-making behaviors.

In the beginning of 2000, Peter J. Neu, working mainly on Trichoptera of Rhineland-Palatinate and Luxembourg, had the idea of making an atlas of the Trichoptera of the Moselle bassin which forms a clearly delimited geographical unit.
The aim is to collect in the database of the Museum the already existing Trichoptera-datas of the Moselle bassin and to fill the gaps in yet poorly investigated sites of the region.
The result will be in about 10 years the german-french publication of an atlas of Trichoptera of the Moselle bassin.
