This is a collection of over 1,400 images of a large number of scale insect species. The only way to access it, though, is through a query form (under "Search the Collection" on the menu). That's fine if you have a scientific name or family name, but not if you just want to browse the pictures. Fortunately, you can click "Start Search" on the empty search form and it will come up with entries to browse, along with a (belated)"Browse All Records" button.
This is a good source for visual ID if you have a scientific name or you don't mind wading through large numbers of pictures. The classifications and scientific names aren't up to the standards of the
ScaleNet database, so it wouldn't hurt to check them there.
