Arthropods
This common name refers to only one phylum.
Animal Phylum Arthropoda
These are pretty much always called Arthropods.
Arthropods include just about everything trout eat except for minnows, worms, and leeches.
Cultus Stonefly Nymph
View 11 PicturesThis large Perlodidae stonefly was a strikingly bright yellow color, moreso than any other insect I've seen. I didn't enhance it much. I tried identifying its genus and came up with Arcynopteryx. Someone who seems to know more suggested Cultus instead. See the discussion thread.

Rhyacophila (Green Sedges) Caddisfly Pupa
View 11 PicturesI collected this pupa and several like it from the same stream and on the same day as this larva. I suspect they're the same species. Every pupa I collected was in a brown casing like the one shown in one of the pictures below. I cut this pupa out of its case after a picture so you can see more details. It is close to but not fully developed.
