from https://www.ento.csiro.au/biology/fly/fly.php: "You will no longer be able to access the Atlas over the internet..."

The site was developed using Macromedia/Adobe Flash which is no longer supported

As the original poster of the link, I can delete it. Not sure if that is particularly helpful. Opinions?

The webpage announcing the closing of the Flash version suggests that they're looking a a non-Flash version of the site. Maybe leaving up your post will prompt someone to look for it in the future.

I followed your advice/comments and looked into whether there was a new update. And there is!

While the above Atlas is good, I was thinking there is a need for a basic atlas or web page to cover the various terms (old and new) since sometimes old keys use different terms for the same character.

While looking into this, I found the following sites helpful:

1) Morphology of Diptera (via Wikipedia). This page is good in that is shows morphology with various old/new terms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphology_of_Diptera

2) Morphology and anatomy of adult flies (via an Italian website). Very thorough. Like Wikipedia, this site does an excellent job using various terms for same characters. This link goes to thorax, but one can navigate back to general concepts or other locations.

3) Fly parts -morphology diagrams (via UK Dipterist). Simple, clear, and effective illustrations. It doesn't use multiple terms, but it does link to the two sites above. https://dipterists.org.uk/morphology

I'm leaving this comment here since I figured people that are looking for morphology terms will visit this page (at least that is why I was here). I can delete or move these suggested links if requested.

I've bookmarked them all. Unfortunately, all of your clickable links point instead to the BugGuide front page. (Maybe they're text that my browsers are interpreting as clickable. If they're not, the format for clickable links is url=webpage address]descriptive text to be clickable[/url but with square brackets before "url=" and after "[/u"

Hi Steve,

Thanks for letting me know the hyperlinks didn't work and how to fix the code. When I tested them in the preview they worked. And at that time I saw I could edit or delete my post. So I figured I could always delete my comments if they weren't helpful.

Alas, now that I have fixed posts -it turns out they are locked and the duplicates can't be deleted? Do you know how to fix that? Or perhaps I just laugh and let it be. Live and learn.
