Comments / Special Instructions:
The abdominl cover is tied in at the junction of the abdomen & Thorax.
Pull the thin skin over the abdomen and to the rear, start wraping the D-Rib to secure.
This is the best way to give the fly the right seperation between dorsal & ventral parts. Markers just dont hold their color.
