new wallmart wing material

[bugman]

was lookin around the sewing department a few week ago in wallmart & got to eyeballing some things what might work in making realistic cadis fly wings or terestial wings... picked up several things, put them down, pickedem back up & looked atem again... this went on fer about 30 minutes and then i spotted something... its called (wrights simply creative) and is nothing more than some see through petal shapes sewn onto a length of ribbon... anyhow i bought it fer bout 2$ and took it home then cut a petal off the ribon & found that the material is doubled so i get 2 wings from the same cut... it is similar to a real fine net mesh but a slight bit stiffer... the wings when tied on a fly are see through & can be coloured to suit the fly... anyhow 1 small roll of the stuff is enough to make hundreds of wings for flies up to size 6... the material is durable yet flexable as well like a wing on the real insect...
