May 07 - Greenbottle

I guess the damp weather has brought out the flies.
Ah well, they present a new challenge – chase the prettiest round the bush :0)

Prettiest? Hard to tell.

Fabulous metallic colours in this capture.
(The blossom is pretty too :-) )

Super macro and the irridescence on his body makes him quite an attractive specimen. V

looks as if the challenge is already conquered; I know you only get that green (sometimes turquoise) sheen at limited angles and the wings are pretty good too

super shot and well-balanced too...the wings are marvelous, and it's metallic colours really sing...V
