Realistic Fly Tying - The Original Hise Waxy the Waxworm Larva Grub Fly Pattern

This fly is a Dave Hise original. Waxy the Waxworm was designed for winter steelhead, but it catches a multitude of species throughout the year. Even ice fishermen use it with great success.
Waxworms are the larvae belonging to the family Pyralidae (snout moths, or grass moths). In the wild, they live as nest parasites in bee colonies and eat pollen, sheds of bees, and beeswax, thus the name. Beekeepers consider waxworms to be pests. The greater wax moth will not attack the bees directly but instead feed on the wax used by the bees to build their brood comb. This is an essential part of the bees' development because of the protein the comb offers the larvae as it develops into adulthood.
Sure, they are terrestrial and rarely near the water, but fish love them.
