Thank you both :)
It isn't easy getting great shots at night. Nice work!
Nice photos! Unusual colouring.
Thanks Jolly! I wish I still had the macro lens I rented over the weekend for this one. It looks like it's the first of this species on PN.
Nice spotting Cindy
Yes the color was very surprising! I had my family come outside to look at it to see if it could have just been the lighting or my eyes but it was really the fly.
nice green color. unexpected though!!
Thanks Maria. I was surprised to see it at the porch light among the moths.
nice spotting!
