<p>Hi Folks,</p> <p>Here are some pics of moths (both adults and larvae) as well as some patterns I like to fish.    So, while that is said, remember that the good old Elk Hair Caddis makes quite a nice imitation of a moth fluttering around on the surface - as do many other patterns - so if you are in a situation where you think a moth pattern might be useful, and you haven't anything in your box specifically tied to imitate a moth - think outside your box and see what else will work.   </p> <p>So - first, I want to give you a little sense of the diversity of moths.   It is huge and crazy - there are giant ones, ones that look like humingbirds, and ones that are teeny tiny.   But even your plain grey moths have a huge amount of diversity (which doesn't need to be imitated in your tying).   Take a look at this random drawer from my collection - and while they are all generic grey moths - you can see a lot of variation from species to species (and it isn't like my collection is huge!). <...
