Ron,
I used some natural latex cut to a 3mm strip, slanted point tied in at tails and stretched hard to reduce thickness, and easing off on the tension as you work up the abdomen. I kept the strip on to form the thorax with it doubled over, colouration was with permanent markers and brushable superglue over same when dry. Head was a black marker over the thread. You can't see the underside but it is a sickly olive colour from the thread underneath.Tail is a couple of Barred Wood Duck fibres.
Glad you are hungry!
