Common name
Giant case maker caddisfly
These are among the largest caddisflies we collect. Their plant-material cases are straight and very slightly tapering from end to end. Unlike most caddisflies, these larvae will often leave their cases if handled. They tend to be a bright green but are easily overlooked when camouflaged in their cases. We find them in ponds and lakes.
