I've just finished my father's website: The Robber Flies of Crowley's Ridge Arkansas, a scientific survey of the robber fly (Order: Diptera, Family: Asilidae) species in the ridge rising out of the Northeast Arkansas delta. robber flies are a largely predatory group of flies, and often operate by elaborately mimicking their preferred prey, usually bees and wasps.
It's written as a field guide to help others who want to identify robber flies in the field, thoroughly illustrated with excellent photographs. There's also a highly informative page covering distribution and flight period (the weeks out of the year that the particular species is active in the air, and likely to be seen): http://normanlavers.net/flight_period.php. I'm rather proud of the formatting for that page.
Having completed this, I'm thinking of revisiting my abortive attempt at documenting my Paris trip of '06 as a proper website instead of trying to shoe-horn it into a Blog format.
