Identification Manual for the Larval Chironomidae (Diptera) of North and South Carolina

Identification guide for all known Chironomidae larvae from North and South Carolina, by John Epler. "While this key is intended for use with North Carolina/South Carolina specimens, it should work well for most of the eastern United States." Errata and additions are available on John Epler's personal web site.

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.

Collaboration between US Army and Smithsonian. HUGE resource for images, keys, and for digitized books and articles about mosquitoes and other medically important insects.

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.)

USDA Diptera Site

See especially the :
links by family and:
Genera of Flower (syrphid) Flies. This is quite extensive, and allows one to identify some distinctive syrphid genera easily.
