A Green Bottle Fly. Awesome photo of him; I can never get that close to
flies without them flying away. There¹s another species that looks just
like it, but is blue. Its called, as you might guess, a Blue Bottle Fly.
Both ?bottles¹ are much prettier than your normal black housefly, though
they¹re all pretty equally nasty disease carriers.
