Sawyer Killer Bug Variant
We have been lucky enough at CudaFly to source some Chadwick’s 477 Killer bug yarn and Steve has tied his favourite variant of this classic pattern. By using a grub hook and an under body of fine lead wire creates an excellent Czech nymph style pattern.
The fly is available at £0.85 each at cudafly.co.uk/acatalog/Sawyer_Killer_Bug_Variant_STROUT50...
If you would like to tie this fly here are the ingredients
Hook - #12 grub
Thread – light tan (any type)
Under body – fine lead wire with coat of super glue
Over body – Chadwick 477 killer bug yarn
Rib – Fine copper wire
Thanks to Tristan for the ID :)

These bugs are annoying my hibiscus plants a lot and cause mutant growth. The shield bugs especially cause most of the problems. There are over 330 000 insects in Australia and it is hard to identify them but I will try for an exact name.
I don't know what these are but they were *everywhere* in the park yesterday. This is the best picture I could get of them.
I do know that they are not moths.
I've never seen a bug like this before - his head looked like a little, bright red, round pinhead, and he had four tiny things on his back that looked like pom poms, lots of legs, pipe cleaner-like feeler things in the front and back, and little spiky hairs all over. He was crawling on a box of sparklers on my porch at our fourth of July cookout.
edit: according to mscaprikell, he is an Orgyia leucostigma, or White-marked Tussock Moth caterpillar.
