Look at this beautiful green soldier fly (Odontomyia cincta) that landed on my hand while I was sitting next to a pond!
Soldier flies are best known for the species that feed on decaying matter like manure and compost, but O. cincta is one of many where the larvae are aquatic and feed primarily on algae.
