Nice bright looking pattern. I have just started experimenting with biot bodies in place of stripped herl on some dry and emerger patterns...... much duller and mundane in colour and none as neatly formed as the fly above though.
There is a member of the forum from Norn Iron who just loves picric and ties a lot of flies using materials dyed with it. Maybe picric is the "peacock" of dyed material?

That is a definite eye catcher, and fish catcher too!

This would be just right for a little mayfly that I like to imitate on the swing in my home river.

Bill, I can imagine the amount of action this fly will create. This really looks lively. Cool materials.
