    The skin I have would make for some nice nymphs. The hair is black of course with a smidgen of brown sprinkled in here and there. Very nice.
    I prefer squirrel for nymphs, it's just so spikey and buggy looking.

    As for the black squirrel it's self, they were introduced here in Ohio at Kent State University years ago. They have since spread out. I haven't seen a fox squirrel here in my yard in about 4 years. I'm seeing grey's, black's, and the little reds. The bad thing about the black squirrels is that they are messing up the grey squirrel gene pool, and in some areas it's almost all black squirrels now.
