Arthropod Links
"The wasps that are nicknamed hunters, kill spiders and carry off the dead bodies to a wall or some such place with a hole in it; this hole they smear over with mud and lay their grubs inside it, and from the grubs come the hunter-wasps."
Aristotle, "The History of Animals"

Araneae, Spiders of North-West Europe
Rudimentary in design, reminiscent of the first pages to hit the Web some 15 years ago, but packed with a great wealth of information and hundreds of pictures depicting most of the spiders commonly found in NW-Europe. Great resource!

Moths and Butterflies of Europe and North Africa
Provides a large iconographic sample of European moths and butterflies and, for each species, information about foodplants, breeding, life cycle. Frequently updated and, quite truly, a fantastic resource!

Koleopterologie
Comprehensive resource, packed with literally thousands of coleopteran pictures. Great site if you need to identify a beetle or two. I would have liked thumbnails because finding a species is kind of hard, if you don't know its scientific name.
