Default Interesting fly

Has anyone ever seen this kind of fly before?

I don't think I've ever seen this kind of fly before, it looks cool though with those colors.

I live in the northern part of Sweden.

None of these have the orange thorax though. But since its color is really irredescance it may just be the lighting.

I opened the door after I took the pictures but I found out a few days later that it didn't fly out, it died there on the door.


It was very warm for about 1 - 2 weeks, 27 degrees Celsius in the shade was the highest reading I saw on the thermometer. Too hot for me!!

How close do you live to a nuclear reactor, nuclear arms storage facility, or nuclear waste dump site ?

The closest nuclear plant is Forsmark, 300 km away. I've no idea where the closest nuclear waste dump site is, and I don't think Sweden has any nuclear arms.

Oh god gross.




My fiancé's father was down somewhere in Central America when something bit him and he ended up with a black bug under his skin. It sounds like a bot fly, but it might've been something else.

I think it might be a 'rave-fly'. Turn out the lights and put on some techno.

Have you noticed anything like a hatch open underneath and tiny aliens emerging to take samples of stuff yet ?
