A genus of aquatic insects in the caddisfly family that are adapted to living in salt or brackish water environments.
From Greek 'halos' (salt) + 'psyche' (butterfly or insect, also soul). This scientific genus name describes insects living in salty waters.
Halopsyche caddisflies are freshwater insects that somehow figured out how to invade salt marshes and salt lakes—an incredibly rare achievement in the insect world!
