While mesmerized at a vernal pool yesterday, I saw caddisfly larvae appearing to nibble at wood frog eggs. Today I saw the same thing in another pool and though I haven’t quite been able to verify this, caddisflies are known to eat salamander eggs. I’ll be publishing a ground-breaking article on this soon. Stay tuned.
