Dub in the dubbing material
Dubbing cover about 3/4 of the hook shank
Tie in the mono eye
Wind in the Chenille to create the segment of the abdomen
Brush out some dubbing
Tie in the pre knot legs
Split the fiber as legs and antenna…Tie down the fiber
Dub in some dubbing to split the legs
BUrn the end of the Micro Velvet Rope, tie in as the wing case
Bring the Velvet rope to side, tie down next to the eye
Bring the Velvet rope under the mono eye
Bring the Velvet Rope over between the hook eye, over the mono eye… tie down
