Le nom de l'ordre des trichoptères a pour origine deux racines grecques : «trikhos», cheveu, poil et «pteron», aile. Il s'agit d'un des principaux ordres regroupant des insectes aquatiques. Considéré comme un groupe d'insectes très évolués, l'ordre des trichoptères se situe sur la même branche évolutive que celui des lépidoptères. 2, record 1, French, - phryganes
