Green Bottle Fly, Lucilia cæsar.

Posted by Grahame (Mt Maunganui, New Zealand) on 11 January 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I really like these iridescent flying gems.

Hi folks,
Hope you enjoy the Dreams.
All feedback is enjoyed.
Don't be scared if you think the image is a nightmare, I still want to hear your thoughts about it.
I've just redesigned my website so if your interested in seeing the images I've been taking wander on over for a nosey.

I wouldn't eat a Ceasar salad with that kind of meat, yet just to admire, it's fascinating ! I feel as if she could see me too - Hello Bzzzt !

Awesome!! How did you get the fly to stay in place? Super glue?? :-)

Mind you I tend to get a bit flighty myself when someone sticks a lens in my face.
