Kiiltokärpänen. Kuuluu raatokärpäsiin, mutta onhan se nyt älyttömän kaunis tässä nurmiajuruohon kukassa pölyttäjähommia hoitamassa. (Raatohommat on toukkien hommia ne.)
A green bottle fly on a broad-leaved thyme flower. A species of carrion fly, but such a beauty, and a necessary pollinator.

Lucilia porphyrina, a species of greenbottle blow fly. Flies tend to look pretty disgusting from afar, and up close, but there's this delightful middle-ground where they look absolutely gorgeous. Look at that metallic carapace! Those intricate eyes!
