Its a white and green Okay Dokey with a thin silver rib. The body is white and the head florescent green.
No pronounced head like a buzzer but buzzer shaped (curved hook).

That they are Mr R.

The Mill Bug that has been kicking about for a few years now, is a almost reverse OkeyDokey you could say...


Hook: Any Buzzer Style, B110 etc
Tail: If required, small pinch of marabou to compliment the body colour, however, not on the original I think.
Body: Glo Brite Floss, any colour really, or UTC 140 Thread
Head: White Floss/Thread
Rib: Silver Wire

Yellow with white head is my personal favourite, along with Glo Brite Pink with a tail and white head.

Have Fun

Carl
