Armed Forces Pest Management Board

Useful site for anything pest related, such as mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, etc. Any crop pest, or animal that stings, bites, transmits a disease, or is a pest is covered. In particular, the LRS search function is an amazing source of digitized books, documents, and journal articles. Their pest-related literature database is staggeringly complete, though it can be cumbersome to search through.

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.

Herschel Raney's Diptera Keys

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.)

Say--American Entomology

Full title:
American entomology : a description of the insects of North American, with illustrations drawn and colored after nature / by Thomas Say ; edited by John L. LeConte ; with a memoir of the author by George Ord.
A lovely historical work. High resolution scans of individual plates (at the end of each volume) can be downloaded as JPEG2000 files. (Use a utility such as IrfanView to view them or convert them to other formats.) Many of the plates are lovely, and it is fascinating to see the fir
