This is a green fly that I managed to find in front of my house. This particular fly is not physically dangerous to humans at all. It cannot bite or sting like wasps or bees, but this insect can carry an invisible threat. This fly likes to live and look for food in dirty places, such as around sewage areas, animal waste, and other dirty places, so this particular fly can carry various types of dangerous diseases.
Even though this fly has a unique color, we still should not play around with it or deliberately touch it.

With the help of a macro lens, we can clearly see every detail of this particular fly, and it also has two red compound eyes that look very different from the color of the rest of its body.
I managed to find this fly perched on an ornamental plant in front of my house, and I was not too worried about its presence because flies are not pests for plants.
