Green Rockworm - the tail

Excelent post Red.

I noticed the same thing while trying to photograph some bugs at Nkolo bells. I did manage to get one nice pic and you can see the "tail". It made me think of adding tails to my fly's.

I have started to tie tails on my caddis larvae imitations and either use 4-5 short strands of mylar flash or leave a "tag" of rib and split it like scythe mentioned. I am not convinced this is quite necessary but if it adds one more trigger then so be it...
