CADDIS-FLIES.

Caddis-worms, offspring of caddis-
flies, are, with but one exception,
builders of portable homes. One
clan anchors the residence to sub
merged logs or stones. All are, with
one exception, aquatic. These cous-
ms prefer to dwell in damp moss.
These fascinating insect archi-
tects belong to the order Trich-
optera, in which are found about
$50 species. They are to be seen in
almost any established stream, pond
or brook in North America. The
adults have short life, spent in the
open. close to where the early part
Of their lives were lived. Bright
lights fascinate them, and many
have mistaken them for night moths.
Caddis-worms build according to
family traditions. Some construct
log-cabinS, others stucco houses of
sand; many fashion a home of bits
of leaves, and one group uses snail
shell as foundation.
The whole idea of the builder is
privacy and protection. There are
front and back exits. Fish are very
fond of caddis-wormS. The owner
can at the least sign of danger with
draw from sight or back out of the
home if the intruder is too agrees
sive. The homes lie about the floor
of the stream or close to plants.
With one exception, the caddiS-
