- Thread: Gray, cream, or black, 8/0 or 12/0, to match the body coloration
- Tail: Sparse microfibers or natural hackle fibers in black, gray, or white, tied short to mimic the trailing shuck
- Body: Fine dubbing or thread in shades of gray, cream, or olive, wrapped thinly for a slender appearance
- Ribbing: Fine silver or gold wire, optional, for subtle segmentation and durability
- Thorax: Slightly bulkier dubbing, such as black or dark brown, to represent the emerging nymph’s body
