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.

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