Brachycentrus appalachia (Apple Caddis) Caddisfly Adult Pictures



 The wings of this specimen were pale tan, almost white, when I collected it, and the body was of the lighter "apple green" from which this species gets its common name. Everything turned much darker by the time I got it home and under the camera.

The wings look even darker in some of these pictures because the background is black and the wings are unusually translucent. You can see that in one of the pictures where the body easily through the wings. They're really a light, translucent gray, which is still far from the pale tan of the same fly when it was freshly emerged.


This caddisfly was collected from the West Branch of the Delaware River on May 15th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on May 18th, 2007.
