TRIBES OF THE 



The liiud wings are folded lengthwise 

 Underneath the hairy fore wings. 

 Caddis larvae are aquatic. 

 Living always in the water. 

 In a case of their own niakincr. 

 Habitation locomotive : 

 'Tis of wonderful construction ; 

 Sometimes made of tiny pebbles, 

 Sometimes of the smallest snailshells. 

 Sometimes of small bits of rushes. 

 Or of leaves long soaked in water, 

 Always neatly joined together, 

 Always joined with silk together. 

 In these wellconstmcted mansions 

 Every Caddis has its dwelling. 

 Keacbing out its head tind fore legs, 

 It devours the sodden edges 

 Of the waterweeds and grasses, 

 And the leaves of weeping willows 

 Gently dipping under water.
