Description

Green bottle flies are smaller, and more variable in size than blue bottles (size: 10mm, wingspan 18 mm), but belong to the same family (blow flies). They are of the genus Lucillia and are characterized by a green metallic hue.
Common Green Bottle Flies drink nectar and help pollinate crops like broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, onions, and kale.
Larvae and pupae are indistinguishable from blue bottles. In contrast to blue bottles, green bottle flies are considered an outdoor species and reliant on warmer (spring and summer) outdoor temperatures. They are considered to be less of a nuisance compared to blue bottle flies and are even used in medicine to remove necrotic tissue from infected wounds to speed up the healing process.
