Garden Insects of North America : The Ultimate Guide to Backyard Bugs (Princeton Field Guides)
By Whitney Cranshaw
Princeton University Press, 2004
This 600+ page book is good in that it breaks down insects into plants, trees, and fruit that they live on. There are numerous photographs of the different stages of growth for many species, which I prefer over just a shot of adult specimens.

University of Chicago Press, 1983
Has a chapter on insects, discussing ecology and natural history. Species accounts with black-and-white photos of some notable tropical insects. Checklist of butterflies, with notes on locations, very useful for narrowing possibilities in this large fauna. Similar checklists of Sphingid moths, Acridoid grasshoppers, and army ants.

Guide to Observing Insect Lives
By Donald W. Stokes

Good introduction to life histories, organized by season. Has extensive reference list, unfortunately, not organized by subject and not keyed to life history accounts. Still worth reading.
