head profile...strange face.  I didn?t use glue.  The best way is silk thread to hang the flies in the stick. ehe

Hi Jorge Not Parydra aquila - that has very short head bristles. This looks very much like P. coarctata, but you may have other species in Portugal that are similar. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
