TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that Anisocentropus Krampus is a species of caddis fly found in New Britain, off the coast of Papua New Guinea? Originally described in 1994, no etymology was published regarding the species name however it was also described with two other newly (at the time) described species named after central European creatures of folklore (Count Dracula and the golem) so it is assumed that this one was named after the Krampus, the horned counterpart to Saint Nicholas who beats bad children with birch rods.
The main identifying feature of these caddis flies is its wings. The forewings are a golden yellow and the hindwings are pearlescent, both sets with unique patterns. Caddis fly larvae in general do make little homes for themselves. Whether or not their little homes can move is a factor in determining its suborder.
