Are These Bugs?

Recommended Posts

I just bought some marabou 2 days ago at a large sporting goods store and I was just about to tie some on, and I found this inside. Are these bugs?

 

for now, the stuff is packed away until further notice!

 

Anyone know if these are bugs?

It looks like the "sheath" material that is at the base of immature feathers (feathers that have not fully elongated). For bugs, look for any small pieces that look like they've been "cut" and also material that may have been incorporated into any type of webby/cocoon looking stuff.
