pise small things. The caddis fly has no
prominent place in natural economy. 1t

peculiar feature in the life Of this ins ct
is the case the young build.

means 'gauze-winged.' The history OF

shells contain living animals. The same
species uses the came material when Dos

their cases to stationsry objects. Some
carry them about. When disturbed they
