Filter feeding restrict these larvae to running waters, but in slow currents. On rooted aquatic vegetation, the larvae will utilise the entire water column, by constructing nets vertically on the plants. Bivoltine lifecycle, where the larvae do not construct filter nets in the winter months but remain in silk retreats among vegetation.
