Hi all.
Just thought that some of you may like to see some close-up shots that I've been taking of insects that I've been finding on the Teifi, and on my local pond. Some of them look hideous close-up, you can see where they get their inspiration from for such films as Predator! ;D

Best wishes.

TT.

I am going for March-Brown, however, I must admit I'm not much of an entomologist TT. Thanks Tango51, hope they provide some inspiration with the tying

Hello TT

I only ask because it is one entomological problem which always puzzles me - made especially difficult by the fact that on our rivers, we don't really have proper hatches of MBs anymore. If I saw one of those in my area, I would have said brook dun (slightly yellow fore-wing, no real blank spot in wing veins etc). However, because I can't be sure if I've ever actually seen a true MB, I've nothing to compare to, if you get my meaning.

I know this sort of thing doesn't help us in our fish catching efforts, but I don't know, they just sort of bug me!!
