Brachycentrus "Apple Caddis" struggled more than its kin in escaping its pupal skin, enabling me to take an underwater picture of it from directly below. This is sort of a trout's eye view, but I used the flash for the picture so the transparent
shuck (Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) appears far brighter than it really is.

Two young of the year brook trout hide in a little spring hole in a remote, crystal-clear small stream.
These are glossosomatids, Jason. They are probably
Glossosoma nigrior, though it is possible that we are looking at mixed species. The ones to the right with their aggregate of similar sized grains are classic
Glossosoma, while the ones to the left with the large anchor pebbles could possibly be
Agapetus. Regardless, they're all commonly referred to as saddle case makers.
