    Default Greenbottle Fly - Male & Female

    There's someone out there for everyone They were in a rather inaccessible place so I had to lean over, so I'm rather pleased that they are fairly clear and in focus.
    I'm not sure I've seen them 'making sweet love...' before, so I was pleased to spot them. They were very immobile - not like mammals

    I agree, Catherine - I thought that they were such shy and modest flowers, constantly bowing their heads... it just shows that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, they are in fact vice dens!!!
