FLIES FOR JULY. 99 



No. 35. WREN TAIL. 



There are many varieties of this insect ; the pale 

 brown, the dark brown, and the greenish blue, are 

 the most common. It is very busy on hot days 

 hopping about and taking flights of about twenty 

 yards, and this is the time to use it, for it some- 

 times drops short and falls upon the water. In 

 colder weather it is found upon the long grass 

 principally ; not much on the water. On very 

 cold days it seems to seek shelter near the roots of 

 the grass. 



IMITATION. 



BODY. Ginger-coloured fur ribbed with gold 



twist. 

 WINGS AND LEGS. Feather from a wren's tail.
