Kim,

    They were probably "home", but not to Caddisflies. Caddisfly larvae
    are aquatic. Some people raise the larvae over semi-precious gemstone
    chips and once the larvae leave to pupate into adults the cases are
    retreived, filled with resin and used in jewelry. They are seem to be
    quite popular at the Entomology Society of America meetings I used to
    attend. Caddisflies are wonderful facinating insects and are used as
    an indicator of stream quality, as they like nice clean, flowing
    water. 

    Here is my favorite site for these. The folks are wonderful!
