    Default Greenbottle (Lucilia caesar)

    I find these shiny body like little jewels in the garden... unless I remember what they are and where they feed The last one, (copper coloured) is apparently a change of age.

    Apparently, before the months were named after Roman Emperors, July was called 'worm month' in parts of northern Europe due to blowfly maggots. Aren't you glad that someone invented refrigeration!
