Some time ago I saw this bug that looked a bit like a huge mosquito, and smacked it immediately. When I picked it up to discard it, I realized that it was somewhat shiny, and green.

So I was curious and tried to find out what kind of bug it was. Searching for “shiny green bug” yielded no results, but then I tried using Google Lens, and found that it is called a chrysosoma long-legged fly, according to Project Noah.
It looks like there are websites where insect (or animal?) enthusiasts share their spottings and try to identify them. Well, good for me!
