Mount the hook. Wrap copper wire in tight, touching turns from the bend to the 75% mark. The wire is body, weight, and segmentation in one. Trim the tag ends by wiggling, not cutting, to save your scissors.
Start thread at the front, tie in a peacock herl, and wrap 2-3 turns for a small, buggy head.
Whip finish behind the herl.
