Wiki'd Nails Challenge - The Water Babies

I'm a bit late on this one - it should have been posted last week but inspiration was on half term holiday I think! Anyway the prompt for the Wiki'd Nails Challenge was The Water Babies.
This is a story I am aware of but don't really know in much detail. The art work all looks a bit grim and sinister in quite muted shades.
I certainly wasn't going to try and paint any babies but there were a few images showing the caddisfly who seems to be part of the story, according to the Wikipedia entry. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of plates with caddisflies on so in the end I have used one of the butterflies from Messy Mansion MM42 and stamped with Mentality Hope over my pond mani from yesterday.
I quite like the dull brown insect against the watery green background so in the end I am quite pleased with this.
