ah the elusive mop rootbeer, been tryin to get hold of this stuff for a while with no joy. like the buzzers mate but the wets my favourite.

[dabhoy]

All nicely done Steve
I would have a slighly shorter wing on the wet though.
Whats the purple on the buzzer at the butt or is it just a colour cast.

Like them all, but the nymph is a cracker, what the hell is MOP root beer then?

Ignore that, here's me thinking it's another product display material

It's just the way the light caught it. MOP rootbeer is quite fascinating stuff with regards to the way it reacts to light.
