Would some of the entomologists on the site comment on the color of this sulphur dun? I was scanning through the images, planning on doing some dyeing, and this one caught my attention as it is so much darker than others.

Is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly? A trout! that is more sharp-sighted than any hawk . . . and more watchful and timorous than your high-mettled merlin is bold!

Louis, I would suspect the little bugger was in the sun too long and got a bad sunburn.
