The Caddis Fly is part of a series commissioned by Future Places Centre at Lancaster University in collaboration with Leighton Moss RSPB.
With many thanks to Kath Smith, RSPB Leighton Moss for embodying this Caddis Fly.
"I've spent years river dipping and pond dipping, and you come across these creatures that still get me so excited, and because they're so amazing, I want to pass that on to other people as well, especially when you're pond dipping with kids. And you want to get them to say it's not just a little mini beast all by itself, it's this fantastic house builder, that builds to survive. And they're just amazing, they really are."
