It was hot and sunny as twelve volunteers participated in this week's survey. Moths and caddisflies belong to separate, but related, orders (lepidoptera and trichoptera) and often look quite similar, as shown below. They share traits such as silk-producing larvae, similar wing venation, and complete metamorphosis. Moths have scaled wings, while those of caddisflies are covered with hairs.
