T. T. Macan — Illustrated by C. Joan Worthington
Freshwater Biological Association, 1973
A specialist work of British freshwater entomology, devoted to the identification of adult caddisflies — the insects of the order Trichoptera.
Published as No. 28 in the Scientific Publications series of the Freshwater Biological Association, T. T. Macan's guide provides detailed identification keys to the British species known at the time, supported by the precise scientific illustrations of C. Joan Worthington.
Although intended primarily for entomologists and students of freshwater biology, the book also holds considerable interest for the thoughtful fly fisherman. Caddisflies are among the most important aquatic insects encountered on trout streams, and an understanding of their forms and life cycles has long been central to the traditions of naturalistic fly dressing.
The work includes identification keys, detailed line drawings and plates illustrating the anatomical features used to distinguish different species.
An interesting addition to a collection of classic angling entomology, particularly alongside the writings of Alfred Ronalds and other pioneers of the scientific study of trout-stream insects.
For further reading on aquatic insects and their importance to fly fishing, explore Alfred Ronalds' The Fly-Fisher's Entomology and other works in our collection of classic angling literature .
