A cased caddisfly lives in the water most of it's life but then when it's a adult it rests in the kourakoura tree
it breathes not breaths
caddisfly
They eat small aquatic vascular plants, nymphs, and larvae. They eat small aquatic vascular plants, nymphs, and larvae.
I think trout, fresh water shrimp, fresh water crayfish, caddisfly lava live in fresh water.
Caddisflies resemble small hairy moths. Adult caddisflies have atrophied mouthparts and do not feed, while those in larval stage have chewing mouthparts.

Caddisflies primarily feed as larvae, using their specialized mouthparts to graze on algae, detritus, and organic matter found in freshwater environments. Some species are predatory and consume smaller aquatic organisms. They often construct protective cases from materials like sand, twigs, or leaves, which also aids in their feeding by providing camouflage and stability in their habitat. As adults, caddisflies mainly feed on nectar and do not have significant mouthparts for eating.

They have several PREDATORS. They're mostly larger animals. Some examples are: 1. Leeches and sunfish (either) 2. Skunks (weird, but true) 3. wood frog tadpoles (mostly larvae) 4. some species of the caddisfly (mostly larvae) 5. fish (either) 6. Frogs (mostly eat the eggs/larvae) 7. aquatic insects (larvae) For more information on spotted salamanders, visit sites like: http://www.biokids.umich.edu/critters/Ambystoma_malculatum/ AND http://www.grizzlyrun.com/Pets/Amphibians/Newts/Spotted_Salamander/Default.htm OR http://www.anapsid.org/sallies.html Hope I helped!
Those are likely caddisfly larvae. They construct protective cases using sand, stones, and vegetation, giving them a woody appearance in some cases. These cases help them camouflage and protect against predators while living in freshwater habitats like creeks.
