Tying imitations of terrestrial insects and other invertebrates

After the three previous books in the SUPERFLY series dedicated to the imitations of mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies, this fourth work offers 41 imitative models of those terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates which, for more or less incidental reasons, can become prey to fish.

The most intriguing aspect is that, while for the aforementioned triad of aquatic insects we refer to fairly rigid construction schemes, to imitate insects such as beetles, bees, bumblebees, grasshoppers, dragonflies, caterpillars or dipterans the schemes become innumerable, and this does not only because their shapes are such, but because by straying into models of pure fantasy we would inevitably end up imitating some strange invertebrate that nature has already produced several million years ago.
These models, made with natural materials, are designed to obtain the maximum possible compromise between imitativity, flotation, ease of execution and, above all, effectiveness.
The work presents 41 models whose construction is illustrated, step by step, by high resolution photos with explanations of the various operations, the imitations are associated with 95 photos of the imitated invertebrates and presents 33 construction typologies, mostly original.
