Will they become the new painted hermit crab?
So, there are these moth-like bugs called caddisflies. Their larvae make little tube casings for themselves out of whatever they find on the pond floor, which is usually pebbles, sand, and bits of wood.
When you put them in an aquarium full of beads, pearls, bits of gold, and other lovely things, well, they'll make do.
And maybe make some nice jewelry, too.
Freakin' amazing.
My brother found one of those buggers- the humdrum sandy type- in our backyard creek several years back. We had no idea what it was then. Now that I know how adorable they are, I think I'll have to go poking around out there sometime soon. Put 'em in a tank with lots of neat stuff, see what they come up with.
