Polycentropodidae

Kambaitipsychinae Polycentropodinae Pseudoneureclipsinae The Polycentropodidae are a family of trumpet-net and tube-making caddisflies.

These are short and flattened, and built in hollows in rocks or other submerged objects.

The larvae are carnivorous, remaining in the retreat until alerted by a small animal encountering a thread, and then rushing out to attack the prey.

[5] Members of the genus Polycentropus make slender, tubular structures among the tangled stems of aquatic plants, being alerted to the presence of prey that encounters the associated silken threads among the plants.
