Very nice, Brian -- I think it needs a little bit of brightening to pop the whole scenerio up.

When I saw green fly I thought it meant the UK type that cause some people to spray plants with all sorts of things - they are tiny.. A type of aphid.

We have this size in green and blue. may be male and female?

[Saorsa]

That is most likely a female. In flies, the males eyes tend to meet at the top of the head. It doesn't work with all flies but this looks like a type of blowfly. Gender differences at https://birdsnbugs.wordpress.com/201...aggot-blowfly/
