@corinnec Thank you Corinne. The light was just right to bring out the fly's iridescent colors.
@tunia Haha! I've tried to be a gardener. And it doesn't take a green thumb to look up information on Google. 😁
@grammyn Thank you. Was retaking a photo I took yesterday that didn't turn out great, but before I left I saw the fly. That was the winner.

I guess he didn't get the memo that it's called "bee balm" and not "fly balm". Good catch!

@grammyn I remembered last night when I went out that I needed to check for the condensation. Actually the one like it that I took the night before didn't have the condensation either.

@pusspup 😂 The answer from a pest control company: Feeding habits of flies
Adult flies feed and harvest their larvae on organic decaying material. This includes, fruit, vegetables, meat, animal, plant secretions and human feces. Both male and female flies suck nectar from flowers as well.
@haskar Thanks so much Hannah.
