Brand new wings

A glittering green fly, freshly emerged from the pupa, rests in the garden while his wings unfold and dry out.

So very shiny!

When I came back a few minutes later, he had gained the use of both wings and flown away.

(He's sitting on the back of an old plastic turtle who works in the garden supporting transplants and sheltering pillbugs.)

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
