No. 25 The Hazel Fly
This is a beetle, the pupa of which inhabits the earth. It is found upon poplar-trees, and a species very similar is found upon fern. It is blown upon the water, and is to be used on windy days.
Imitation.
Body.—A black ostrich herl and a peacock’s herl, twisted together on red silk.
Wings and Legs.—Made buzz with a dark furnace hackle.
As this fly never alights upon the water, it is generally seen struggling with its wings in motion.
