If you go to your nearby fabric store you may find some glow-in-the-dark
cross stitch thread, in several different colors. (green, yellow, blue,
pink...) Use it to tie an underbody on the back half of your favorite
long-bodied beetle pattern. I use foam, myself. Charge with a flashlight
before casting.
