I remember seeing somewhere that there are people putting these insects in artificial environment with little rocks of gold or gems instead of the little rocks these insects make their repair. The insects make their things and these people sell the repair those insects have created as jewellery especially earrings. I hope that doesnt damages the animal.
(Sorry for my eng)

We should get into stem cell research, as well as gene manipulation, So that we can create goats that can weave us these chemical compounds. This could be used to improve our bodies regeneration rate perhaps by altering how the body heals via gene modding

I've seen these really recently! I wore some swimming goggles to the river and while I was looking at the crawdads and fish, I saw some of their shells, and eventually, a few of themselves, dragging themselves along!

A bug that likes rocks as much as a geologist. His home is colorful and solid looking.
The possible application for humans is revolutionary! No more screws in people's arms and legs would be wonderful.

Can it bite or pinch me in any ways? I like to manipulate insects when I can, but sometimes accidents may happens even when it's not intentional, like spike legged insects hurting my hand in surprise

When I found my first caddisfly larvae as a kid, I was so enamored by the casing. and then the larva began to crawl out and it looked straight out of an alien film! XD

Ive lived on this planet for almost 70 years and still get blown away by stuff like this. I had never even heard of a caddisfly. Nature is truly so amazing.

I have been wondering what these are for so long. I thought they were some kind of hermit crab because I find them in creeks that empty out at the beach.

Evolution. CREATION! everything in life makes so much sense. It needs an intelligence to produce and create something intelligent, like the Caddishly!

When in time did this insect figure out to make shelter/ armor in this manor. And the fact that it's been pre programmed in all of them is amazing.

I still don't understand why you guys think it's evolution. This is almost primate level cognition, putting rocks together like a puzzle.

Insects are next to rule and may be the final rules of what's left of planet earth. Insects are more impressive than any animal species.

Why does the larvae stage of most winged insects seem to be smarter/ more conscious? This is something I've always wondered about.

people painstakingly mimic the adults and to prove it, here's the sorriest looking elk-hair caddis you've ever seen.
