Plenty of these about yesterday, don't know if they are Caddies Flies or Alder flies at Wollaton Hall & Deer Park, Nottingham. @fowp.bsky.social @lgspace.bsky.social #caddisflies #insects

A recent study describes a caddisfly species, Oecetis amplicauda, from the Amazon - one of Earth’s biodiversity hotspots - and expands the known distributions of eight additional caddisfly species. See how they've done it here: doi.org/10.3897/zook...

Aquatic insects are key indicators of stream health, but which metrics work best? 🤯 By sampling >500,000 adult #caddisflies (299 species) from 903 stream sites across the northcentral United States, this study puts bioassessment metrics to the test ➡ doi.org/10.3897/zook...

Anyone on here know anything about UK #caddisflies? I think this individual from last June might be Ceraclea senilis, wings don’t look translucent so less likely to be Oecetis ochracea.

Dieses Bild zeigt eine Köcherfliege (Limnephilus lunatus), die auf einem verwitterten Stück Holz vor schwarzem Hintergrund sitzt. Das Insekt weist eine charakteristische orangebraune Färbung mit auffälligen weißen Markierungen auf den zeltartig gefalteten Flügeln auf. Die langen, fadenförmigen Antennen ragen deutlich nach vorne, und die zarten, segmentierten Beine sind klar erkennbar. Der behaarte Körper und die Flügel der Köcherfliege fangen das Licht ein und heben die feine Flügeladerung hervor, die typisch für diese aquatische Insektenart aus der Familie der Limnephilidae ist.
Die Larven der Mond-Köcherjungfer
(Limnephilus lunatus) entwickeln sich im Wasser. Wie bei vielen aquatischen Insektenarten währt das Larvenstadium deutlich länger als das Leben als adultes Insekt.

Draufsicht auf eine Köcherfliege der Gattung Philopotamus, die auf rauer, grau-weißer Gesteinsoberfläche sitzt. Die Flügel sind dachförmig über dem Körper zusammengelegt und zeigen ein auffälliges Muster aus goldgelben und dunkelbraunen Flecken und Bändern. Zwei sehr lange, fein segmentierte Fühler erstrecken sich nach vorne, die etwa doppelt so lang wie der Körper sind. Die Flügel weisen eine leicht bräunliche Grundfärbung mit deutlichen dunklen Punkten und Flecken auf.
Seitenansicht einer Philopotamus-Köcherfliege auf verwittertem Steinuntergrund. Das Insekt präsentiert seinen charakteristischen Körperbau mit behaarter Kopfpartie, deutlich erkennbaren großen, dunklen Facettenaugen und goldbraun behaarten Körpersegmenten. Die langen Fühler zeigen feine Segmentierung mit abwechselnd hellen und dunklen Bändern. Die zusammengelegten Flügel offenbaren das typische Muster mit gelben Grundtönen und dunkelbraunen bis schwarzen Flecken und Bändern. Mehrere lange, schlanke Beine sind sichtbar, die vom Körper abstehen.
Detaillierte Seitenansicht einer Philopotamus-Köcherfliege auf steinigem Untergrund mit Flechten. Besonders gut erkennbar sind die dichten, goldbraunen bis orangefarbenen Haare am Kopf und Thorax des Insekts. Das große, dunkelbraune Facettenauge ist deutlich sichtbar. Die Fühler weisen eine präzise Segmentierung auf. Die Flügel zeigen ein komplexes Muster mit goldgelben Bereichen, die von dunkelbraunen bis schwarzen Querbändern und Flecken durchzogen sind. Die langen Beine mit ihrer charakteristischen Färbung sind gut zu erkennen, ebenso die feine Behaarung des gesamten Körpers.
Die Larven der Köcherfliegen, hier Philopotamus sp., entwickeln sich in Gewässern. Der wiss. Name der Köcherfliegen "Trichoptera" bedeutet Trichos = Haar und Pteron = Flügel. Warum, ist hier gut zu erkennen.

On a nettle leaf, a small, narrow insect with dark, shiny blue-black wings folded into long, sharp triangles covering its back - white legs protrude from underneath. The head has two round, brown-red compound eyes, two incredibly long white, thread-like antennae going forwards and curling out slightly, and two dark, almost crab-like jointed appendages. "Distinctive large and hairy maxillary palps used in mating" apparently, according to NatureSpot.(It's a male.)
Something enjoyable - taking a photo of a small, odd-looking bug with camera at arm's length, trying not to fall into a canal, getting home and seeing the results and thinking - what the heck's *that*?
Pretty sure it's a Mystacides azurea var […]

Fantastic to deliver a workshop on #mayflies, #stoneflies and #caddisflies for @freshwaterbio.bsky.social. Humbling to be looked over by two of the great freshwater ecologist - TT Macan and Richard Chadd.

A green, hardback book entitled 'Trichoptera Larvae of Finland: A Key to the Caddis Larvae of Finland and Nearby Countries' by Aki Rinne and Peter Wibert-Larsen. Published by TRIFICON. ISBN 978-951-95015-0-5.
Still staying with larvae, but stepping outside the islands of Ireland and Britain, we have this entry from Finland. This key has an abundance of diagrams and also photos of various features, which quite novel among keys.

A book entitled 'A Revised Key to the Caseless Caddis Larvae of the British Isles with Notes on their Ecology' by J.M. Edington and A.G. Hildrew. Published by the Freshwater Biological Association.
Staying with the larvae, this is the book you want for caseless caddisfly larvae in Ireland and Britain. Another publication from the Freshwater Biological Association (who are, sadly, not on Bluesky. Is anyone close enough to prod them?)

Moving from adults to larvae, here is the go-to key for cased caddisflies in Ireland and Britain. One of the many great aquatic macroinvertebrate keys by the Freshwater Biological Association.

A book entitled "A key to the Adults of the British Trichoptera" by T.T. Macan, illustrated by C. Joan Worthington, published in 1973 as Scientific Publication No. 28 by the Freshwater Biological Association.
Next up is an older book on adult Trichoptera by T.T. Macan from 1973. While it is out-of-date in places, the illustrations by C. Joan Worthington are outstanding and can provide confirmation when used in conjunction with Barnard & Ross (2012).

A book entitled 'The adult Trichoptera (caddisflies) of Britain and Ireland by Peter Barnard and Emma Ross. Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Vol 1. Part 17.
I thought I'd take the time to share some of the books I use in identifying caddisflies (Trichoptera). This is the most up-to-date book for adult caddisflies in Ireland & Britain. There is a dichotomous key, but the line drawings of the genitalia are most valuable.

There is a lack of caddisfly content on Bluesky, so here is a bit of info on the diminutive Tricholeiochiton fagesii in Ireland.

Pretty sure this is Limnephilidae
