As fly fishermen, we are blessed here in Scandinavia with Europes largest caddis fly Phryganea Grandis also known as murragh in Ireland and the great red sedge in the UK. From the Latin Grandis ‘Large’ referring to the dimension of the species and phryganea ‘spiral stick’ referring to the case constructed by the larva. Caddis flies fall under the Order Trichoptera; tricho - meaning hairy and ptera meaning wing.
