This fly also known as Bristle Fly.

15mm

- The fly's hairy
body was bright metallic green in colour, with gold and black patches near the
base of the wings.

- In
early summer, we saw many of them resting on Iron-bark gum tree trunk in
Karawatha Forest Bushtail track. There is a place with many Iron-bark gum
trees and openly facing a downhill slope. There could be a place where the
males meet the females of this species.

 -
 -
- Amount
them there is the different colour form. They are found at the same place so
we believed they are the same species.
