Boasting an intricate life cycle, trichostegia minor starts its journey in freshwaters where it lays squatter-shaped, gelatinous egg masses. As aquatic larvae, they construct protective cases from plant debris, showcasing masterful caddisfly craftsmanship. Upon reaching adulthood, they undergo a transformation to reveal delicate wings that carry them through twilight hours, seeking sustenance in nectar, thereby contributing subtly to nocturnal pollination cycles.
