Ptychopteridae
| De larven
leven van kleine organische bestanddelen in modderig water en staan in
verbinding met de buitenlucht door middel van een lange adembuis aan het
achterlijf. Adulten in allerlei moerasachtige en vochtige biotopen, veelal
in de buurt van de larvale habitats.

The
larvae are aquatic to semi-aquatic, living in muddy water, shallow pools
in marshes, Sphagnum pools, or the margins of streams. They filter-feed on
small organic particles. They are connected with the air through a long
vertilation tube at the end of the abdomen. The adults live in marshy and
moist habitats, near suitable substrates for the larvae as well as quite
some distance from the larval habitat.
