Cases exchanging behavior by a caddisfly larva.
Psilotreta kisoensis Iwata (Odontoceridae) makes portable case from river sands.
Sometimes it takes one to two hours to move to new case, since larvae seem to evaluate the new cases carefully.
We can sometimes observe that they cannibalize and rob the occupied cases.
