Sow/cress bugs look like an aquatic version of a pill bug. Dark grayish segmented back, lots of lighter colored legs on the bottom, can roll into a ball when chastised

Scud/shrimp look like a freshwater version of the shrimp you see on restaurant menus. Ours are much smaller than the restaurant versions.

wonder if a gray ball of dubbing would work

Yep. That will probably work.

Below is a pic of a cress bug tie from Flyfishers Paradise. Here is a link to the video for tying a cress bug.
