Lucilia? - Lucilia coeruleiviridis

Lucilia? - Lucilia coeruleiviridis
Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA
February 7, 2015
This is why I use the guide. Years I've been stupidly lumping this fly in my mind with Ornidia obesa because it's a fat green fly, despite the blindingly obvious difference in eye color. Then saw someone else post an ID request for genus Lucilia, and it opened my eyes to the possibilities. Thanks in advance for any confirmation at least to genus. Not sure which species extend this far south into Florida. The only Florida species ID I found in the guide is L. eximia.
