All in all, good and apparently up-to-date info under the 'Habits' or 'General Characteristics' or 'Overview' links; especially valuable are the profiles (with ref. lists) of minor/obscure/exotic groups on which very little info is available online otherwise (i bumped into the site looking for info on Monomachidae).
The interface is a bit awkward, the links other than those indicated above are mostly dead (incl. 'Home'), and some underlined/bracketed subtitles that look like links are confusing; also, it took me quite some time to figure out the author, [url=http://facultydirectory.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/pub/public_individual.pl?faculty=4034]Prof.

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.
