Greenbottle Fly

Lucia sp. probably L. cuprina
Family: Calliphoridae
Order: Diptera

This greenbottle fly is also referred to as the Australian sheep blow fly.

On this occasion the fly was moving around too much to allow a stacked image. A single shot photo was required. This was achieved using a macro lens with a small aperture of F13 and a flash. The shutter speed was 1/100. Camera was handheld.
