Metallic Green Bottle Fly


I know this is "just" a fly, but isn't it GORGEOUS?!!! I have been trying to get a nice picture of one of these for ages and today I got the chance to try again...with success! :)
From Wiki:
The common green bottle fly (biological name Phaenicia sericata or Lucilia sericata) is a blow-fly found in most areas of the world, and the most well-known of the numerous green bottle fly species. It is 10–14 mm long, slightly larger than a housefly, and has brilliant, metallic, blue-green or golden coloration with black markings. It has short, sparse black bristles (setae) and three cross-grooves on the thorax. The wings are clear with light brown veins, and the legs and antennae are black.
