Hello Guys ,

I`m doing a project for my Uni and as a beginning I`m interested of where I can find case building caddisflies during this time of the year. Do you think only the chalk streams are possibility. I`m looking for quite big cased caddisflies in their larval stage- not pupal or adult. If you could help me I`ll be thankful!

Regards,
Stan

I am not too far north of you about 30 mins drive, Would be happy to go down the brook with a kick sample net and help you out. We regularly send samples to the adult caddis occurances survey, so have a list of many of the caddis found in the brook. Though the vast majority of our caddis are micro hyoptilas, and the smallish silverhorns in the leptoceridae family, We do get the bigger limnephilildaes which should cover your larger cased caddis.
PM me if your interested in popping up to collect some.( or need some samples sending
