Entomological Society of Canada - Common Names Database
The Common Names Committee of the Entomological Society of Canada maintains and periodically updates a list of common names of insects. The list is available online as a searchable database, and is also downloadable as an Excel file. In addition, there is an online form for the submission of a proposal for a new common name. The site includes recommendations for how to come up with a new common name.

Photo gallery of the Spencer Entomological Collection
[cite:553835]
quality photos of selected representatives of northwestern fauna, incl. a number of type specimens; some sections (e.g., Aradidae) are very helpful; the list of their imaged Heteroptera here includes about a hundred spp. that we don't have yet among Alydidae, Anthocoridae, Aradidae, Corixidae, Cydnidae, Gerridae, Oxycarenidae, Saldidae, Scutelleridae, Tingidae... (they haven't yet posted several major families), and the beetle section, with ca. 3000 identified spp. (list), seems to be at least as much impressive.
