Wes, If you want to tie the wings along the back in their rest position, I have a good candidate material. It's an iridescent transparent cellophane that's very light and flexible. It's not strong enough to tie upright or extended like spinner wings. I used it in the pattern I tied for last year's caddis swap, which you can see at: http://www.virtualflybox.com/patterns/pattern.php?swap_id=42&id=1134 I have three or four tons of it and would be glad to send some out to you if you're interested.
