caddis
Case-building aquatic larva
Caddis is a rough woolen fabric, or the yarn from which it's made.
The word also refers to caddis flies—small moth-like insects whose larvae build protective cases from silk and debris—or to the larvae themselves, prized as fishing bait: He collected caddis from the streambed for trout fishing.
