BLUEBOTTLE

It has taken a million years to get its jacket a perfect green

and now we call it a bluebottle

a comparatively recent term. 

Our prejudice is complete

when we observe 

its choices of what to eat.

Sorry for the delayed response ! Keith I know what you mean. Pretty revolting. Thanks for reading.

Thanks Brian , I seem to attract them in our garden, or something does!

Po and Stephen, thanks so much for liking.

You don't see as many around as you used to. Better sanitation and hygiene I suppose.

Ray, how true. Apparently when they have finished eating and land on other food they vomit. Green or blue I cannot endear myself to them but do fall short of swatting them.
Thanks for this
Keith
