The Caddis Worm should be in every aquarium; it is the larvae of the May-fly and may be found in any shallow stream. To watch these  worms collect minute twigs, grains of sand, etc., to construct the grotto-like nests, is a source of intense amusement when observes through a magnifying glass, and the tadpole affords an interesting lesson for a period while gradually developing into the frog state.
