Re: Dusk
Polar bear is magical stuff. I knew at first glance that was the hair in the wing.
You may find this hard to believe, but white skunk tail fur makes a very good polar bear substitute. No joke.
Handsome fly, btw.

Spanish works for Colorette magnifique = Blush Magnify. So, Red would fit nicely.
