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.

Includes links to keys for several families of flies. (This link is also listed under the Internet references in the order diptera, but it seemed worth repeating here.)
