On the striped back part of the body you can see scuffing where the paint/dye/colour has work off

You have to get up very early in the morning to catch a WABBER out, very early. 
I agree clearly a rubber toy. |

This rubber-toy thread reminds me of large orange/red flying insect in East Yorks ( which I believe was an honest mistake on Buster's part)
Take care, Jason  | | |
