A storm recedes over the boggy headwaters of a nice trout stream. I haven't seen any trout in this stretch, but it's a good place to collect burrowing mayfly nymphs.
I found this big snapping turtle crossing the road next to the headwaters of a tiny brook trout stream I've never fished.
Rhyacophila (Green Sedges) Caddisfly Pupa
View 11 PicturesI collected this pupa and several like it from the same stream and on the same day as this larva. I suspect they're the same species. Every pupa I collected was in a brown casing like the one shown in one of the pictures below. I cut this pupa out of its case after a picture so you can see more details. It is close to but not fully developed.
