Field Notes

Description:

Tiny 5mm metallic brightly coloured fly.

Habitat:

Global tropic and sub-tropic

Notes:

So small I wish I had more than a cheap pocket camera.
Usually with fruit trees this one was resting on corrugated iron wall.
Apparently there are over 7000 others much like this one.
