Anatomical Atlas of Flies

This is on the fly (diptera) info page already, but I feel it deserves a link posting as well. I'll also add it to the links in the glossary info page. This is a very spiffy clickable anatomic atlas done in Macromedia Flash. As has been mentioned in discussion forums, you need a broadband (not dial-up) connection to use it.
