Title: Snail parasite fly
Post by greenbeest on Sep 18^th, 2013 at 11:08am

Saw this fly sitting on the spare wheel cover & I sprinted back inside the house to get my camera to snap a photo of it.
I was lucky it was still there.
I asked on a photography forum to identify what it was as I had no idea.

I have never seen one since.

He's a colourful one but I still hate flies. ;D

Very pretty ... tries hard to restrain the SPLAT! response ;)

Apparently South Oz deliberately released these in certain areas to control snails.
