8 Caddisfly Specimens in the Family Rhyacophilidae:
Rhyacophila mainensis (Green Sedge) Caddisfly Larva
View 10 PicturesThis is the first Rhyacophila larva I've seen with this striking black banded appearance. I caught several larvae of this species in a fast riffle in a mid-sized trout stream.

Rhyacophila carolina (Green Sedge) Caddisfly Larva
View 8 PicturesThis specimens shows that the name "green rockworm" doesn't quite fit all Rhyacophila larvae, even though it does fit the majority. This is actually the first of their larvae that I've found in a different color. I'm not sure if it's because of the species or because this is a young one, but I have found equally small green larvae, so I'm guessing it's the species.

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.
