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.
