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 :)

Bug on my car

LOOKS LIKE IT HAS ARMOUR ON....

Among the dock leaves there were dozens of Dock Bugs about today, mostly in pairs. I watched a lot of shaking and twitching and rubbing antenna and even more fighting and squabbling. Eventually I gave up hoping to get a photo of them mating but then a yard further down the path I found these two! Now I am looking for eggs. Last year I found nymphs of all stages so just need eggs to complete the set. www.flickr.com/photos/photospool/7776879410/

Bug Jam 2011

Bug on foliage in rice fields north of Ubud. 24 February 2017

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'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.
