  • Anisocentropus

    Anisocentropus is a cosmopolitan genus of caddisflies (Trichoptera: Calamoceratidae) comprising over 60 described species distributed across Oriental, Australasian, Afrotropical, Neotropical, Nearctic, and East Palearctic regions. Larvae are case-building detritivores that construct portable shelters from leaf pieces or wood fragments, inhabiting both lotic and lentic freshwater environments depending on species. The genus exhibits notable variation in habitat preference, with some species strictly adapted to standing water while others occupy running water or both environments.

  • Coleophora juglandella

    Coleophora juglandella is a small moth species in the family Coleophoridae, first described by McDunnough in 1946. The species is known only from Canada, specifically Ontario. Its larvae are specialized feeders on black walnut (Juglans nigra) and construct distinctive spatulate leaf cases.
