New Beetle
came across this by accident but i had a sheet of stickyback black foam i bought from walmart on the tying desk... got out a pearlescent sheet & tossed it on the desk, went to git a drink... came back ti tie some scuds & shrimp & noticed that the foam had a greenish sheen to it like some beetles have on the shell so i changed to a dryfly hook... peeled the paper off the foam & stuch the pearlescent to it then cut a strip and tied a beetle... the strip i tied in upside down so when i folded it orer top the thing had a greenish shell... underbody is peacock herl... leggs are micro rubber leggs...
