Philopotamidae is a family of insects in the order Trichoptera, the caddisflies. They are known commonly as the finger-net caddisflies.〔(Philopotamidae. ) Chironomidae Research Group, Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota.〕〔(Philopotamidae. ) Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)〕 The aquatic larvae of these caddisflies spin mesh nets of silk in flowing water to catch food. A larva can spin over a kilometer of extremely thin silk to create its intricate net.〔Wallace, J. B. and D. Malas. (1976).
