I did see a couple of them but only a few. We are over run with the little black ones. Since the only domestic animals we have right now are chickens most flies are not a problem. That may change, the DW wants her stall back so I'm in the process of moving chickens. Some years back we had some iridescent flies in the house. Bigger than the usual house fly. We traced them back to a recently deceased chipmunk the cat had stored in the closet.

It wasn't connected with the chickens, because at least one other horse-owning friend had them around the same time (we discovered our mutual infestation by accident). The flies were different in colour to any I'd ever seen. They were not blue-bottles.
