A running water breeding apparatus, the "fluvarium", made up of several gutters, allows the larvae of the caddis fly to go through their larval and pupal development and then to emerge. Several experiments carried out in different conditions have allowed the authors to estimate the duration of the life cycle and to distinguish the preferences of the larvae as regards current speed, water temperature, food quality and quantity and dissolved oxygen. The information obtainent from this breeding is compared with field information concerning the biology of this species as well as with information from literature about the Cheumatopsyche in general.
