Here are six spiders using #14 Grip hooks, yellow silk, rabbit fur thoraxes and hen hackles.
Here are the hackles and rabbit fur.
Olive + Dark Olive fur.
Red Game + Rust Brown.
Natural Black + Squirrel Belly.
Golden Badger + Tan.
Grizzle + Blue Dun.
There are not as many recipes as pictures, this is because I cannot
differentiate between the pictures easily, the eyeballs are not reliable.
I hope you can sort them out. I may have repeated the Red Game spider.

Excellent "buggy" flies all around--you wouldn't think it, but flymphs and those Grip hooks are starting to be a classic combination.

Re: Revised Indian Hen Spider Pictures
Thanks Donald. I have been studying the photos trying to figure out the different combinations. I think I have figured out a few of them, but am not 100% positive. I enjoyed studying these lovely flies. Thank you for sharing.

Donald, Howdy;
Thanks for the puzzle, making life interesting is a good thing to do.
Helps us who have become lazy and expectant (always haveing the
discreptions available), to exercise our "little gray cells" as Hercule Poirot
was fond of saying...
