Blowfly

DateMon 2013-05-13

A rather docile male blowfly, probably a Bellardia sp (Diptera: Calliphoridae).  I captured this specimen and later took the following photos (before I released it again):

These show the greenish abdomen more clearly.

First photo and specimen taken in the field below Chazey Wood, near Caversham, UK, on 2013-05-11.
