The true crows are large passerine birds that form the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-sized jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the Common Raven of the Holarctic region and Thick-billed Raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 40 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents (except South America) and several offshore and oceanic islands (including Hawaii).

In the United States and Canada, the word "crow" is used to refer to the American Crow.

Please note that in each pack there is a pair of Crow Wings, (Left and Right wing). These may not be an exact pair but are a close match in size, and colourings.

The crow is a year round species. The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the Corvidae family. Other corvids include rooks and jays.

Crows appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. A group of crows is called a flock or a murder.
Spyder Thread 18/0 Orange is a fine 30D, 18/0 traditional tying thread, and is specially developed to be semi translucent so that the threads help adopt the shade of the fly pattern. Spyder Thread 18/0 Orange has 2 fine strands of thread twisted together.

The strength of Spyder Thread 18/0 Orange in comparison will give the fly tyer confidence when tying small flies that their thread will hold better. With 2 strands Spyder Thread 18/0 Orange will also lay reasonably flat when tying flies.
 
Mole skin can be used to produce stunning fine flies. As mole is a natural product each skin is a different size. However each pack contains sufficient for many flies!
Hint: You can take fur cuttings, put it in a small coffee blender for a few spins to make it 'fluffier' and easier to use. Definitely use a pre waxed thread or use a little wax to hold the dubbing.
