That's what it is, David. Two strands of Pearl Krystal Flash twisted together and wrapped so as to represent ribbing on the abdomen of the fly. The dubbing for the abdomen is Dave Whitlock SLF Red Fox Squirrel Nymph - Abdomen. It is also designated as #02 and the thorax is Dave Whitlock SLF Red Fox Squirrel Nymph - Thorax or # 01. The tail is from a red fox squirrel tail and the legs are silli legs, preferably in an orange color with black speckles. This same pattern, without the tail or the legs but with a speckled hen soft hackle can be used to represent an "October Caddis" emerger.

What's theittle sparkly business going on there in the abdomen?
Something I me to do is twist and tie in a couple strands of crystal flash. It gives it the same look...

A variation on the cap spider design.
Another option is to tie these on 1/74, 1/80 and 1/100 jigs.
