This was taken a few weeks ago when I was still trying to get the final tomatoes to ripen. It was a cool but sunny day when I spotted this fly and ran to get my camera. I could have taken as much time as I wanted as it continued to sit there for at least another 10 minutes. Such a lovely green.

Your tomato looks great, neat capture of the fly. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter link! Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thanks so much for leaving me a comment.
That green on the fly is so vivid. It’s amazing how even the smallest creatures can hold our attention when the light is just right. Makes me appreciate the patience needed to notice these tiny wonders. www.melodyjacob.com
Hello:) Your tomato looks huge. I hope it ripens in the sun. It makes a great background for the Greenbottle fly. The image of even the smallest insects make super subjects as your delightful photo shows. All the best Sonjia.
Well composed.
ReplyDeleteI bet the the surface of that tomato was nice and warm so sun on its back and warmth on its tummy.
ReplyDeleteThat Common Blow Fly was seeking warmth on that tomato. Fine bright colors in your photo. I'm sure you washed the tomato before you ate it.
ReplyDeleteI would have used the same title. I wonder if it went to sleep.

Great macro.
ReplyDeleteEven a fly can be beautiful with those vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteWhile it's a green fly, is it a greenfly.
ReplyDeleteLove the title. The green bottlefly shows up beautifully on the yellow tomato.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful how we have learned to notice things!
ReplyDeleteThe fly’s shimmering green against the late-season light perfectly reflects nature’s quiet patience at summer’s end
