Come on! These are the most wonderful creatures!
Don't rush to get rid of them. They have a lot of advantages! With their help, you can keep your neighbors on their toes. You just need to show them to your neighbors and hint that if they start drilling walls at a later time or playing the piano on weekends, then your little friends will go for a walk through the ventilation shaft directly to their apartments.
Secondly, you can collect them in a box and, when there is not enough seating for you on public transport, open the box and innocently pour them on the lap of the more successful passenger who took your seat. After that, you will always be given a seat... if, of course, you survive.
Third, they have a great nutritional value. They can be baked in pancakes, fried, steamed. They are especially good lightly fried in olive oil.
Their paws make excellent toothpicks.
And when they have children, which will happen very soon and one day you forget to close the box, how much joy and emotion they will give you, climbing their tiny paws on your trousers and begging for bread crumbs during lunch.
Yes, you never know what else!
Only they, in addition to chips that are poured into the lid of a mayonnaise jar, also need water; -)

I decided, I don't know why, to see if there were any animals living in flower pots. He poked at the ground with a match. And I could barely make out microscopic light dashes running around (there were definitely 5 of them in the pot), less than a millimeter in length, probably. And immediately discovered an amazing thing: running this creature runs, then how to jump (or maybe fly, it's hard to say) about 1-1. 5 cm from the initial position and then runs. I took it and threw it with the earth out of the pot on the windowsill, it began to rush madly jumping all the time.
I couldn't make out its structure at all, who could it be, do you know?

(P.S. I also found a worm, a length of cm., a thickness of less than mm., white in color, some kind of invalid (the back of his body did not seem to work), he swam in a puddle, turning his head in a spiral)

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that

01_003_DSC00048.jpg - not a caddis fly, but a butterfly of the small-wing family (Micropterygidae, genus Micropteryx) or a similar family - if you look closely at the wings, you can see the scales covering them

01_009_DSC04029.jpg " it's really hematopoietic, you can tell by the venation of the wings. Hairs on the surface of the wings (macrotrichia and microtrichia) are present in very many insects, microtrichia are inherent in even the most primitive (mayflies, for example)

The rest are indeed caddis flies, but it is doubtful to determine them from the photo, of course. As far as I know, at the level of the genus and sometimes even the family, the definition is almost exclusively based on male genitalia...
