Galactic Ant
Cheech - September, 2023
The Galactic Ant is a pattern that Lance and I kind of dreamed up one day at the front desk. It shares elements of many very effective flies, and is a great option for a high-vis, high floating foam fly that still maintains a small profile. Swap out colors at will to match local insects!
