What would Christmas Day leftovers be without a Blow Fly! Much maligned as they are, I think they’re beautiful, with their lustrous metallic green-yellow sheen and their big red-eyes highlighted with white. This was the only one to take on the job of cleaning up. Possibly the same Sp. as at sighting 4672625?
