This was posted on a BC site. Haven’t heard of a lot of these tyers but OMG, a lot beautiful ties. Really exquisite, some of the caddis patterns are insane.

As a taster…where is the head, I am stunned by this pattern.

yeah, that's insane! I wanna see a SBS
I was just looking at that fly trying to figure that out! I'm guessing all the hair tips pointed toward the bend when tied in, then some of them are pulled forward.
It’s is an Italian tyer I think and yes, I will be scouring the web tomorrow. I’ve seen an ant pattern from Barry Ord Clarke, I think, where he ties deer hair forward and then crinkles it to make cool legs but this is just alchemy

At the very least I want to see a full 360 view of it. I'm sure I'll search for it as well tomorrow at some point after I get home from fishing.
If you or anyone finds it or similar I’d love to see the tying.

Or this dude and all in Italiano, adds to the challenge of understanding the recipe

I had tied a folded/bulleted deer-hair ant many years ago. After about 12 fish, they had re-tied mine it to look something like this ^^^. It was still catching fish too.
