Beautiful, Ugly Green Fly

I was busy photographing the beautiful Pincushion Protea below, when I spotted this Ugly Green Fly sitting on it. It almost looks as if the fly has some flying goggles on, I suppose it is to see better when flying!! LOL Below you can see it sitting on the flower.

Just look at that face and the interesting flower on which it sits.

Although the fly is quite ugly, I just kept on snapping away, so the next number of photos are of the fly in different poses!! Luckily the fly was quite lazy and did not fly away, as I had to come quite close to take these pictures!!

Below is some photos of this amazing Protea to show a bit more of this amazing flower!!

Below you can see the entire Pincushion Protea plant in its setting, I just love these Protea plants!!

If you would like to read more on the beautiful Pincushion Protea just click on the blue link or you can click on Green Bottle Fly to read more on the Green Fly

I took these photos during my recent vacation to Jongensfontein, Western Cape Province, South Africa, using my iPhone.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did taking them.

You got a good capture of the fly, considering that you used just a smart phone camera.
BTW, it is a very nice flower.

Stunning photos. I don't particularly like flies, but I guess some do look pretty cool 😎.
Beautiful flowers, I have never seen this type before.
Great post.

Yes, flies are not my favorite, the flower is a type of Protea. (Pincushion Protea)

I ask from you firstly, Are you professional photographer? Its so brilliant. like as professional.

rynow (71) · 7 years ago

No I just like to take photos, I don't have a proper camera, I think I must perhaps buy myself a decent camera, but the phone is very convenient as it is always available.
