Bugs Below Zero
Discovering Winter Aquatic Insects in Minnesota
Caddisflies(Order Trichoptera)
​Caddisflies are not flies, despite having "flies" in their name. They are in the order Trichoptera and are dark, moth-like bugs that have long antennae and wings that are hairy rather than scaly. They can be found in and around healthy, fast-flowing streams and some species emerge during the winter.
