Green bottle on a mint plant .

Possessing a gold coloured thorax, surely means that this green bottle has reached the rank of Centurion.
The lowly green bottle is a blow fly common to most areas of the world; its maggots are used to clean infected wounds.

Pretty flies with useful larvae! That’s what we like 🙂
Like most living things, they have a good side and a bad side, Sarah. The bad thing about blue and greenbottles, is that they have very dirty feet.
Yes, not the most welcome of guests at a BBQ!
