Some new images to share of a small metallic green fly captured many years ago and finally imaged with proper illumination and stacking. Unfortunately it was stored with a moth that shed its scales on it as seen on the compound eye. I don’t know what the extra eyes are called. Maybe someone knows from our forum.
