Micro Caddisfly
A small western caddisfly that builds neat cases from leaf discs in rain-fed headwater streams. Larvae are significant leaf-litter processors in Pacific Northwest forests.
Did You Know?
Larvae switch from leaf-disc cases to mineral-grain cases when leaf material becomes scarce.
Bark Mimic Grasshopper
A Southeast Asian grasshopper with a broad, flattened body shaped like a piece of bark. Its mottled brown wings provide perfect camouflage on tree trunks.
Did You Know?
It presses itself flat against bark and orients its body along trunk ridges to eliminate any telltale shadow.
