FLIES FOR SEPTEMBER. 107 



No. 41. BLUE BOTTLE. 



This and the house fly become blind and weak 

 in this month, and are therefore frequently driven 

 on to the water on windy days, when very good 

 sport may be expected with them. The Blue 

 Bottle is perhaps to be preferred. It may be used 

 until cold weather sets in. 



IMITATION. 



BODY. Bright blue floss silk tied with light 

 brown silk thread, shewing the brown 

 at the head. 



WINGS. Feather of the starling's wing. 



LEGS. Black hackle from a cock wrapped 

 down the principal part of the body. 



To make it buzz, a dark dun hackle may be 

 wound upon the above body.
