At first glance the wing looks like polar bear (so glossy).
This would be fun to fish sunk, or suspended in the surface film (a bit of floatant on the wing).
Lovely.

Understood. I saw it in the recipe above, but it caught me by surprise.

That would work great where I fish. We have a boatload of white moths hatching on evenings in August.
