What's the big deal? It's basically just a grape skinny pancake... I love the "doted lateral line" effect in the wing. It basically looks like a bullseye that's at least as eye catching as Jungle cock if not moreso due to its length. "bite here":thumb:

The big deal is this is a damned beautiful fly. Great job, Marty!
