No. 30. MARLOW BUZZ. 



This insect comes from a pupa which inhabits 

 the earth. It is very abundant in hot weather at 

 the water side, from the beginning until the 

 middle of June, flying about amongst poplar trees, 

 and feeding upon the leaves. 



IMITATION. 



BODY. Black ostrich herl twisted with peacock 

 herl and black silk thread. 



WINGS AND LEGS. Are made buzz with a dark 

 furnace cock's hackle. (See p. 77.) 



There are other varieties, some much smaller, of 

 the Red Beetle, and Lady Bird, which may be 

 imitated in a similar manner, and used when nu- 

 merous. This is the largest ever employed. 



To make it with wings at rest, the darkest part 

 of the starling's wing, and a red cock's hackle 

 may be wound upon the above body in the same 

 way as for the Fern Fly, No. 26.
