Your letter to the bugman: This was a 1st sighting if this for me, and I believe it to be a Green Soldier Fly based on what I saw on Bugguide.net. it was a bit longer than a centimeter, and seemed to hang around me for a while, while I was working in a flower yard.

Dear Karin,
This is indeed a Green Soldier Fly, and based on this BugGuide image, we believe it is Odontomyia cincta. Your images are awesome. She is quite the poser.
