Iowa State University's Department of Entomology hosts a gaggle of insect-related sites, among them the Entomology Image Library. Here, interested viewers may browse through many close-up, color images (and some MPEG animations) of beetles; lice; plant diseases and damage; butterflies, moths, and caterpillars; cicadas and leafhoppers; plants; flies and mosquitoes; ticks; grasshoppers and crickets; and true bugs. Each section provides several crisp images of insects (listed by common and scientific name), as well as images of insects feeding on crops. While the content is appropriate for students at all education levels (K-12 and up), this site may also be helpful to non-entomologist wildlife/ botanical researchers seeking common insect species identification tips, images of insects feeding, or images of severe herbivory.
