Morphbank
There is a push for all images in scientific publications to be deposited in a digital format and available to the public. Most of the contributions are from entomologists, but the scope of morphbank is to include all images of any living (or once living) organism. I am not directly associated with this project, but I think it has some really good aims.

North Carolina State University General Entomology (ENT 425)
Excellent site with systematics, descriptions, images. Looks to be a fairly complete on-line entomology class. Try the Course Tutorial for an introduction to insect biology and Compendium of Hexapod Classes and Orders for systematics. Spot ID of Orders page has photos of representatives of major orders--well done. The design of the site is simple and uncluttered--excellent work.

All it needs is links to BugGuide on appropriate pages!

Historical literature
"Core Historical Literature of Agriculture" from Cornell University. Has full text of Annals of the Entomological Society of America from 1908-1950, and Transactions of the American Entomological Society from 1867-1950.

Insect gallery of digital photography from southeast Iowa. Images include butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pictorial Keys to Arthropods (and other animals) of Public Health Significance
Although this series of pictorial keys is focused on animals that affect human health, the keys are quite general and would seem to be useful to Bug Guide contributors. There is a general key to arthropod orders and then a series of separate keys for many of the individual groups. Comments welcome.

University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program
IPM is a system of dealing with pests that uses information about them to control them in a variety of ways- not just pesticides, but physical barriers, changes in farming/gardening practices, biological control, etc. All of these are supposed to be integrated so they reinforce each other.

Because IPM is based on knowledge about the pests, IPM references tend to have a great deal of useful and interesting information about the species covered. This site is no exception- The "Pest Notes", especially, are very informative and cover a wide variety of bugs (among other types of pests).
