Received these today. Expecting 12 fourteen 14 arrived the two in the plastic bags were located later and sent.
 
Some excellent workmanship some believed to be 20/25 years old.
A lot of effort put into the mouse (like its ears)  and the frog.
 
Damsel Flies aren't to shabby either, and one of the bonus flies hails from NZ with a background sheet on the fly.
 
regards John

Red Damsel Fly looks so REAL!!!!! Thumbs Up
The shadow looks like it would take flight!
 
I collect aquatic & anphibian insects/animals etc. for feed to my Aquarium Fish.
Sometimes, during quarantine, we will have some 'Emergers'.
I have developed a soft spot for Red and Electric Blue Damsel Flies. (so pretty)
Bass and Silver Perch eat them at all stages of their development.
I haven't tried them on Murrays yet.
 
Great score John.
Will you be wetting them?

If I strike the right conditions at Lake Pedder or the Tyena it would be interesting to see how they perform.
 
The NZ flies has an interesting segmented body and the fresh water prawn shows intricate work done on it.
A lot of patience, nimble fingers , good eye sight,  the right material, and a little tying ability
Regards John

Magnifying Glass mounted on tying bench would help the vision, the rest is skill and selection.
Hope the right conditions come your way, would be great to see the captures.
