Brachycentridae (Apple Caddis and Grannoms) Caddisfly Pupa
View 3 PicturesI photographed this one recently dead. It's hard to keep caddis pupae alive for very long in a collection container.

Cheumatopsyche (Little Sister Sedges) Caddisfly Pupa
View 3 PicturesI was surprised how bright green this pupa is. It's chartreuse. After collecting it, I experimented with melting down chartreuse jigs and making little translucent rubber caddis abdomens on my flies. They looked good, and the trout liked them, but they weren't very durable at all. This specimen is recently deceased in the photographs.

Rhyacophila (Green Sedges) Caddisfly Pupa
View 2 PicturesEven though I already have pictures of a Rhyacophila pupa in its cocoon, I took this one and then tried to keep the pupa alive, hoping to photograph it in several stages of development. That didn't work out; it seems to have died without changing much. Oh well.
