Meaning of "caddis" in English

Caddis refers to the larval stage of insects from the order Trichoptera, commonly known as caddisflies. These larvae are typically aquatic and are known for their unique ability to construct protective cases using materials like sand, small stones, and plant matter. The cases serve as a form of protection against predators and environmental factors. Caddisflies are vital in freshwater ecosystems, often used as indicators of water quality. The adult insects, resembling moths, are less familiar; it is the larvae that are mainly studied for ecological research.
