Fishfly

Aquatic larvae live under rocks in clean, fast-flowing streams and rivers. Adults inhabit adjacent riparian woodlands.

Larvae are predatory, feeding on small aquatic invertebrates. Adults rarely feed, consuming only water or nectar.

Larvae are aquatic and can take up to three years to mature. Adults are nocturnal, weak flyers, and strongly attracted to artificial lights.

Harmless to humans, unable to bite or sting. Their presence serves as an important indicator of high water quality.
