Green bottle fly

What is a "green bottle fly"?

A green bottle fly, also known as the blowfly, is a common insect characterized by its metallic green or blue coloration. It is attracted to decaying organic matter and plays a significant role in decomposition. Green bottle flies are often found near garbage, animal carcasses, and other sources of rotting material. They have a relatively short lifespan and are known for their rapid reproductive cycle. Despite being considered a nuisance, they also serve as a food source for other organisms, contributing to the natural balance of ecosystems.
