In my book, all leaving creatures deserve a picture ;-)

That's why I photographied this little green fly resting by the end of the day within my cedar hedge.

Having 2 dogs, I got a lot of occasion to take green fly in photos but I think that I did well to wait up to that day. Esthetically, it is better. Isn't it ;-)

Have a nice day,

Michel

-----

The blow flies, (family Calliphoridae) especially the bluebottle and greenbottle, lay their eggs almost exclusively in dead or rotting flesh. They are usually the first insects attracted to a fresh carcass, sometimes within minutes of death; they are attracted by the organic odors of decomposition The eggs are most often laid around natural body orifices or open wounds, and the larvae molt and pupate at predictable rates for any given temperature and humidity condition; it is for these reasons the blowflies are so important in forensic patholgy. Maggots (larvae) and pupariums (the hollow cases left behind after the adult fly emerges) collected from a body can be used to determine, sometimes very accurately, the time of death.

Salut Michel,
Très belle macro avec d'excellentes couleurs! Les détails sont très bons et j'aime beaucoup ce beau BG et cette composition. Tu as fais un bon choix d'exposition car on peut voir aussi les détails sur le cèdre. L'éclairage est superbe, il n'y a rien à critiquer négativement ici :) Merci,
Claudine

Excelente macro Michel con muy buenos detalles los que capturaste aquí.
Me encanta la composición de la mosca verde sobre el fondo del mismo tono, con adecuado DOF y agudeza.
Buen encuadre y presentación a 45°.
Gracias y hasta la próxima.
