Field Notes

Description:

This dead fly caught my attention with its beautiful blue coloring. Most of the flies I see around are green that look blue when the lighting is just right. This one stayed blue in all lights. Could this be due to fading or a result of decomposition?

Habitat:

Orchard in backyard

I think this is referred to as a "Bottle-cap fly"
