The Caddice-flies are moth-like insects which are com- mon in the vicinity of streams, ponds, and lakes; and they are also frequently attracted to lights at night. The body-wall of these insects is soft, being membran- ous or at the most parchment-like, and is thickly clothed with hairs. There are usually four ample wings. These are membranous ; but the fore pair are more leathery than the hind pair. When not in use they are folded against the sides of the abdomen, in an almost vertical position, and give the insect a narrow and elongated appearance (Fig. 225). The wings are more or less densely clothed with hairs; and in some cases the hairs are scale-like in form. The hind wings are usually broader than the fore wings, and are often longitudi- FiG. .. ^^^jj^ f^j^^j j^^ repose. All have nu- merous longitudinal veins, but the cross veins are few.
