May I introduce...

... besides the common species that can be found worldwide, there are of course also different organisms than we have it in Austria. There are really interesting Taxa like the Family of Psephenidae - beetles with the shape of a shield. Other typical Taxa are Indonemoura sp., Kamimuria sp. or Baetiella sp., which have spines on their back that makes them look like tiny dragons!

Most differences I can find in the group of Trichoptera (Caddisfly). There are the huge Stenopsyche sp. with its elongated head capsule, the Family of Hydroptilidae which build strange and fancy looking cases or in higher regions there are different types of Himalopsyche. So far, this is a tiny insight to the Nepalese world of Benthic Invertebrates.
