I was just sitting outside vegging out watching my pond at work IAfter a
while I noticed something very odd, it looked like a twig was moving along
under water, against the current, waving up & down as if the current was
moving in the opposite direction. After watching this for a while I noticed
another apparent twig doing the same thing. Moving closer to the water I saw
a spider-like creature had made a home of the twig & was dragging it along,
much like a snail.

I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea of what
this might be? I would like do to some research on the net but wouldn't
begin to know where looking as I have NO idea of what the creature is or
whether it's a type of crab, or the fry from a damselfly perhaps?




Sounds to me like caddis fly larva. Good fish bait if you take them
out of their house they've built.
