I like to tie bodies with moose mane. It makes a good mosquito body.
Take a strand of light and a strand of dark, tie in by the tips, wrap
them side by side. It gives you a realistic mosquito body. Apply a
couple of coats of head cement and it will be pretty durable.

On a #2-/#22 hook I find that the Moose mane can be a lil tough for me to tie as a body. For them I like the Stripped Peacock Herl. For anything larger I use the moose mane. I also like to use dark CDC for the wings. Makes them kinda smoky looking. that and Tule in ant natural color.
