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.
