Green Bottle Fly on Leaves — A vibrant green bottle fly rests on a bed of decaying leaves. These flies, often seen near compost or other organic material, play an important role in decomposition. The fly appears to be *Calliphora vicina*, a common species found in North America.

Up close with one of the most common insects around here: A green bottle fly. They may not be everyone’s favorite visitor, but look at that metallic sheen and those vibrant eyes! I can't help being impressed by all that.

Kiiltokärpänen. Kuuluu raatokärpäsiin, mutta onhan se nyt älyttömän kaunis tässä nurmiajuruohon kukassa pölyttäjähommia hoitamassa. (Raatohommat on toukkien hommia ne.)
