I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: Pearl Dun
thanks Ray.
This is one of those flies that is hard to get the feel for it in a picture. The mole and the pearl mylar (which is not near as much visible as it is in the picture) really gives this pattern a translucent appearance.

Re: Pearl Dun
That "deadly" description resonates with me too, and I would pair it with "delicate". No self-respecting midge sipper could pass this up.letumgo wrote:The first word that pops into my head is "cute". The second would be "deadly"...
