Fly
I believe this may be a Green bottle Fly (Lucilia caesar)

Not caesar
As far as I know Lucilia caesar is not found in the United States.

Please crop your pics...
...as close to "just the bug" as possible. Only you and the editors have the ability to view the full-size images. Everyone else is left looking at a tiny fly in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" and simply upload cropped versions, if available. They will replace the current images.

Thanks!
