Here is another speciman of a Waved Light Fly. I caught this one and thought that I would try the chill-shoot-release method. But, evidently I can be distracted by any shiny object, and was taking pics of other stuff and just forgot. It was in there only about 15 minutes but apparently it was enough and kilt it dead (nothing to do with Scotland)(it was a joke, get off my back). Anyway, I thought I would see if I could get some more pics anyway. I thought maybe somebody might point out what a few of the things in the pics are. But, if not, that's ok. If nothing else I thought they might add to the Waved Light Fly page for info or something but if you want to Frass them that's ok too.

How exactly did you chill this?... A good technique is to stick it in the fridge (in a container of some sort) until you're ready... specimens can be kept in there for days without any appreciable harm.

 
Yea, but not in the freezer!
