Description
Members of the Goeridae family, often overlooked, play a vital role in freshwater ecosystems. Commonly mistaken as mere passive inhabitants, these aquatic larvae are architects of silk structures, which they use for protection and feeding. The misconception that all small aquatic insects are insignificant is challenged by the Goeridae's remarkable ability to influence nutrient cycles and water filtration.
