Anyone identify this fly?

Randomly found this on my bedroom floor when I woke.

The natural and rational thought is that at some point it has tried to kill me in my sleep.

Some crazy colours on it!

A house fly with a shiny red arse?

Kamwah · 11 Aug 2012 at 13:38

It's a common fly.

Its a bluebottle fly?

It's a ****ing fly.

If you really care what kind it is I would seriously consider sitting down and rethinking your life.

A dead fly

dunno but due to the massive shaft on it's head I guess it eats pollen/nectar rather than dog ***

I'm having a hard time figuring what is funny about a dead fly.

Randomface74 · 11 Aug 2012 at 14:02

it's clearly not a blue bottle.. more like a wasp - eyes are black and backside is elongated

TheBigCheese · 11 Aug 2012 at 14:02

It's not a fly as such it's a ruby tailed wasp!

Absolutely amazing creatures.

I would post it on one of the wildlife forums, I've just googled it all over and cannot find one exactly like it.
