Since I am eliminating any goose or gander components I can't think of a catchy name to continue the play on Sharon's original pattern so I will call this one the "Quilled Grizzly Duck" if that's OK with everyone.

 

Just a reminder to all: Your job is to mutate the fly of the swapper immediately preceding you. And base the name of your mutant on the name of the preceding one. You can effectively ignore the names of the earlier flies and the materials comprising them.

Cute name DJ! Depending upon how the wings are tyed the last 4 creations all sound like they could be excellent matches for the Yellow Mays (Stenonema spp) hatches which occur around here most of the summer.

 

Next batter: mybadhabit.

I am intrigued. This swap looks very interesting. This will undoubtedly push me a bit, that's half the fun in tying. I'd like to join if you'll have me.

Still room? I'm in if there is.

DavidHE gets the last official spot.

 

Gary- would you care to be supernumerary (in case someone bails)?

[professori 0]

I'd be glad to, so if any of you are having second thoughts, just let go, let go. I'll try to do you proud.

Since I've never really done quill bodies I gonna go with some Tazmanian Possum for the body.
