I confess that flies haven’t been my favorite creatures, but I am learning to appreciate their variety — and some of these metallic ones really are quite…ummm…attractive. 🙂
Thanks for the great photo!

Thank you 🙂 Yes the metallic coloured ones can be quite beautiful, and there are such variations, too.

The metallic green stands out beautifully against the stone background. It’s a lovely, crisp shot which allows you to zoom in on the rather off-putting hairs on the fly’s back….

Thank you for you for your lovely comment Judith. Yes, they can be quite bristly insects, yet some of the colouration can be quite something.
