Nice looking fly!
You might be surprised just how many wasp and honey bee bodies I have observed in the stomach contents of trout over here and yet it is an insect not often copied or offered in artificial form.

An interesting experiment Ruard, quite a lot of the wasps and bees are not striped.
Just a wee thought. ;)

That looks like a winner, Ruard.
