We don’t get many stoneflies on the river Pang #chalkstream but a rather nice one turned up in today’s kick sample.

Indeed the bed of Old Carr Stream is absolutely crawling in Limnephilinae Northern Caddisfly larvae (Limnephilidae); not sure why they always seem so restless, often clambering over each other.

Always a strong count on the Cald Beck in Cumbria, a rocky and quick flowing tributary of the Caldew 👍

The flat-bodied mayfly or stone-clinger. They have plate-like gills that are held out sideways & as their names suggest, a flattened body to help them cling to rocks.
Do you find many in your surveys? If so, tell us where you are based and share some photos!

Freshwater shrimp are usually easy to spot, they are often found swimming on their side and zooming around the sample tray! 🦐
