Neophylax (Autumn Mottled Sedges) Caddisfly Larva Pictures



 The size of the head compared to the body in this larva is surprising, and I think this means it's a fairly early instar (Instar: Many invertebrates molt through dozens of progressively larger and better-developed stages as they grow. Each of these stages is known as an instar. Hard-bodied nymphs typically molt through more instars than soft-bodied larvae.) of something which is going to get a lot bigger, but I'm not sure.

This caddisfly was collected from the Neversink River (above reservoir) on May 6th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on May 10th, 2007.
