No body just a wing and a hackle.
I skipped some steps in the first post.
Put a (thin John James for instance ) #10 beading needle in the vise. Wax it up.
Fasten thread to the needle with a good ten overlapping wraps. Bobbin hangs.
Tie on a clump of deer hair. I like the Coastal stuff they make Sparkle Duns with.
Whip finish where you wound on the deer hair.
Slide it off the needle.
Put a short shank hook in the vise. Lash on a hackle feather but don't wind it.
I like to pull the hackle feather down so it encounters the vise, so it's held facing down and out of the way.
Mount the wing clump with 3 or 4 LOOSE wraps. Now wind the thread horizontally between wing clump and shank. This tightens things up a bit and it creates a tiny thread post between wing and shank. Whip finish.
Now wind the hackle. Turn the fly on its side so the bottom faces you. Leave hackle pliers dangling.
Put a dab of glue at the fulcrum of the parachute. Medium viscosity UV or CA (like ZapAGap).
Snip off the waste hackle tip by pulling on the tip while holding a razor to the base of the stem.

The needle trick makes it a snap. I first started tying these a zillion years ago. In practice I always put a tuft of fuzzy fluorescent chartreuse or orange on top, so I can see it.
Straight deer hair makes a more handsome photo.
