I love the look of the stripped herl body. Such an insect-like segmentation. Lovely wee wet.

I agree on the body. With that color and the stripes, it stands out.
Nicely done.

Wow! This is a really good looking pattern! I too am in love with the segmented (quill) body! You can't go wrong with Plover hackles either! Nicely done Nightwatchman!
