flyangler Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Graham has been ripped off! Some creationist buffoon swiped web photos to put in his "book" to bolster his argument that since insects in amber are the same as living insects that evolution is a myth. A couple of the so-called living insects are Graham's flies, photographed hook and all. Fish don't see the hooks and I guess buffoons don't either. Here's a blog that discusses the whole debacle: http://www.scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/200...s_a_science.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Is he the guy who had a bunch of flies seized by Customs?? They thought they were real "endangered" insects with hooks somehow inserted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Is he the guy who had a bunch of flies seized by Customs?? Your thinking of Paul Whillock - http://www.paulwhillock.com/ That's pretty shitty about Grahm's images, but it does boad well for his skills as a realistic tyer. Thanks for the link Sarah, I'll definatly give it a read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought they were real "endangered" insects with hooks somehow inserted. That would be Paul Whillock, author of Flies as Art.
