Jardine's Dictionary of Entomology

Digital version of A Dictionary of Entomology by N. K. Jardine (1914). Available as individual html documents (by letter), a text-based PDF, and a facsimile (scanned) PDF. It is extensive--I found some terms in there I had puzzled over for some time.

California Insect Survey Publications

A series of monographs about insect groups as they exist in California (in PDF format). Many useful keys and descriptions, though most are over the head of the non-entomologically-trained. Even so, amateurs will find useful information even if they can't make full use of the articles.

Lots of insect species are here. Those who are so inclined can also search for trees, wildflowers, vines, shrubs, fishes, salamanders, mammals, and much more. About 60,000 species are here.

A great source.
