Thin bug foam Tan (underwing) / orange (indicator) (2mm strips)
EP fibers 3-D Gray sf blend (1 clump (wing))
Flex-floss Brown floss (2 strands (antennae))
Centipede/rubber legs (medium) Speckled brown rubber legs (2 pairs)
How to tie it
Lay a thread base the length of the shank. Tie in two brown flex-floss antennae off the front of the bend so they sweep back past the tail.
Bind a strip of 6mm brown foam on top at the bend, leaving a long tag rearward, then segment it to the shank with 2-3 thread-band cinches to form the abdomen.
Fold the rear foam tag forward and lash it down to build the buoyant overbody, stopping at the 70% mark.
Tie in a tan 2mm foam underwing, then a clump of gray EP fibers over it as the wing, both reaching to the end of the abdomen.
Figure-8 a pair of speckled rubber legs on each side of the thorax so they splay out.
Cap the thorax with a small tab of orange 2mm foam as a hi-vis indicator post, tying it down just behind the eye.
Whip finish under the foam head and add a drop of cement to the thread wraps.
