I often see various green and blue blow flies on feces, early compost, and small carcasses in the back yard.

I found this green bottle fly on October 23, 2016.


On May 16, 2014, I discovered this common green bottle fly on a bluejay fledgling that had died the night before.

This common green bottle fly was on some kind of wild animal feces near the back fence, perhaps raccoon or possum, on May 8, 2014.
