#25: A Caddisfly
There are two types of people in this world. Those who are absolutely fascinated by microscopic close-ups of insects and those who are totally grossed out. Depending on which camp you’re in, you may want to scroll past this one. This image of a caddisfly gives us a glimpse into how these tiny insects function.
This image of a caddis larva shows its tiny pinchers covered in microscopic hairs and fibers. This is before it turns into a caddisfly, which looks a lot like a moth. Caddis larvae thrive in aquatic environments, and once they hatch and develop into adults, they live on land. Who knew they looked so hairy as larvae babies?
