The reason I don’t like this photo is because, just a moment before, this green hover fly (Ornidia obesa) had been right side up in the sun, which illuminated its wonderful metallic-green body. Alas, by the time I got my camera out, it had relocated to this spot.
Still, it’s an interesting fly, which could just as easily be called the green wolf fly – ‘what big eyes you have.’
The metallic green is still there, with an air of menace as the fly waits beneath the leaf…
