Greenbottle Fly - Lucilia sericata - a photo on Flickriver

            One of around 38 species of blowflies that can be found in the UK with the green bottle fly being the most stunning one out of all of them. Flies are a very important part of our ecosystem and a vital peace of the jigsaw of life. They help in the process of breaking down any animal corpses they could litter our land and in turn provide and add important nutrients to the soil which will help in the aid of plant growth as well as pollinating flowers. Without pollinators we would have eighty per sent less food on our plates.
