Where's the fly swat when you need it. At least you caught it with the camera. It's amazing how some of our very mundane creatures are so beautiful.

I concur Peter, it is just an every day creature and no special image but seeing the hairs spines antennae etc close too gives it a totally different aspect.

I really like the colors and details. And I agree - it's sometimes surprising how cool everyday insects look up close.

We get extra big ones here . . . blue and green and grey, I think the English are green and blue bottles, we just call the brommers - for the sound they make
