What is another word for trichoptera?
Pronunciation: [tɹˈɪt͡ʃəptəɹə] (IPA) 
Trichoptera is a scientific name that refers to a taxonomic order of insects consisting of caddisflies. These insects are known for the silk cases they create to protect their larvae and pupae. While trichoptera is the most widely used and recognized term for these insects, there are several other synonymous terms. These include the lesser-used terms: phryganeida, phryganeoida, and phryganeoidea. These names all stem from the Greek word phryganos, which means to bolt or shut up, reflecting the insect's behavior of encasing themselves in silk. While the name may differ, their unique and fascinating behavior remains the same.
