Some shots of Calliphora sp. showing the colour range from colourless to dark coffee. Had an interesting comment left on a flickr photo of this behaviour- "Regurgitating aerates the semi-digested food and helps in oxidation processes. Speeds up digestion" Hadn't considered aeration as a possibility. brian V.    |

This Green Lacewing was photographed in the middle of the night at Scatsta Airport on 29/07/08. Not much sun about at 00.21 even in Shetland in July, so the heating-up of the bubble theory can be discounted I think. Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [58.34Kb] |

This little fly blew a bubble but couldn't swallow it again, so left it on the leaf. Sorry for poor picture quality....pre proper Macro Lense.

The little fly is Scaptomyza pallida, Drosophilidae.
