The caddisfly larva is an environmental indicator! They tell us the quality of the water they live in... They are a beautiful insect that creates beautiful art. I give my caddisfly larva a environmentally safe place to live and create their unique pieces of art. I then raise my caddisfly larva until they emerge as adults. Their cases are left behind to remind us that there is so much beauty in nature. I create unique jewelry that is made using the cases of the caddisfly larva...

They just need material to make their pupae and anything will do - grit, shells, etc, or precious gems will make no difference to them as long as they're good construction materials. And the materials being given to them are natural - gold and jewels - not synthetic or man made like plastic beads for example. So I don't see why this art form is not eco-friendly, and Hubert Duprat totally gives the caddis flies the kudos for creating these lovely pieces of jewellery. They don't need them once they finish with the pupal stage but have had full use from them in the meantime. I don’t think it hurts or worries the caddis flies at all.
