Reminds me of early summer and the sulfur hatch. Nice work Hans.

I've always liked the halo effect of a litely dubbed fly. It offers the suggestion of a translucent body and may provide some micro movement to suggest life. I'm particularly fond of using two colours(generally lighter over darker or brighter). One color seems to glow thru another. I've enjoyed viewing your wimsical experiments with materials and color. You construct a lovely fly.
