1 A Bugs Life Insects are important to Sagehen Creek for many reasons. Bugs like the Caddisfly and Stonefly are signs of healthy rivers and creeks. Caddisflies and Stoneflies are also important as food for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Piute Sculpin. Insects are important to Sagehen Creek for many reasons. Bugs like the Caddisfly and Stonefly are signs of healthy rivers and creeks. Caddisflies and Stoneflies are also important as food for Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Piute Sculpin. Important habitat needs for the Caddisfly Caddisflies survive best in freshwater with a lot of dissolved oxygen, a temperature of five to thirteen degrees C, and a pH of 6.5 to 8.2. Caddisflies survive best in freshwater with a lot of dissolved oxygen, a temperature of five to thirteen degrees C, and a pH of 6.5 to 8.2. The Caddisflys home is made out of little twigs, root pieces, or pebbles that make a portable case for safety. The Caddisflys home is made out of little twigs, root pieces, or pebbles that make a portable case for safety. Some Caddisflies eat other insects; some spin a net and eat what they catch in them; and, some eat dead fish, or anything that passes by in the water like dead plants.

Stages in the Life Cycle of the Caddisfly Caddisflies spend most of their lives as larvae, up to 2 years in some species. Caddisflies spend most of their lives as larvae, up to 2 years in some species. Larvae look like caterpillars covered in a tube-like case of leaves, sand, twigs, or bark. Some can get to be about the size of your pinky when they are mature. Larvae look like caterpillars covered in a tube-like case of leaves, sand, twigs, or bark.
