Hallo

Last week I got a new microscope. And yesterday I found a well-preserved Pollenia on the attic.
What parts should I photograph to determine the Pollenia?

I would start the other way round. Have a look at the best keys for determining Pollenia; key it out to find out what it is; then take photos of the bits mentioned in the key Smile There is a Canadian key on the Internet that's quite good for a first try.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
