This one is olive but try other colors of marabou

As always Norm, Wonderful! I love the patterns simplicity and the marabou component! When you mentioned about changing the colors of the marabou, I was thinking the back two thirds (abdomen) of olive green and the thorax of a medium brown! I know that most damselfly nymphs are monochromatic (as Bill Shuck used to say) but I thought the combining of colors might make it interesting! It's hard to tell what the hogs down below us (upper pond) will like but, I think your version will be well received on the menu!

That is simply a BEAST of a fly! Terrific job.

barred marabou would be interesting

Oooo... Very interesting indeed...
