I stand corrected, FishUSA does carry it...here it is

http://www.fishusa.com/tackleshop/catalog_product.asp?url=Glo-Bugs-Yarn&i=F5FD70E792D0405986832ECE95C2AC0B&fx=1

thats the exact same material used to make those flies, if not, it should be

to get that hairy look... comb it

  Not the same stuff Jeremy  Totally different material

well its a good substitute then. It also reminds me of that enrico puglasi material.

I can make that exact representation using that egg yarn.

You will not get the same result with glo bug yarn. It is not even a mediocre substitute.
