A brilliant green fly rests on a purple flower. The flowers (there are three blooms) are on a green vertical stalk.
A green bottle fly hovers above some broad green leaves. Its shadow is visible on the center leaves. There are small purple flowers scattered at the top of the photo.
A monarch butterfly and a green bottle fly each rest on a separate thistle stalk. The thistles have light purple blooms except one in the bottom right corner that is spent and is sporting off-white strands.
It’s #FlyDay, and I’m feeling literal again. (Special #MonarchButterfly costar in one shot.) #GreenBottleFly #WildlifePhotography #insect #PurpleFriday #EastCoastKin
