InsectMuseum.org hosts a graphical interactive key to help you identify treehoppers to family, tribe, and genus.
Daniel Marlos has hosted the website “What’s That Bug” since 2000. The website has twenty years of curated identification requests and a form to submit your own unidentified bug pictures.
Spider/Bug Questions with The Bug Girl Spider/Bug Questions is a small but active Facebook group that provides identification and information about spiders, bugs, and other creepy crawlies–with the motto “The More You Learn, the Less You Squirm!”
BugGuide.net is host to an enormous repository of community-identified photographs of insects, organized by taxonomic group (order, family, genus, species). If you cannot find a bug that matches yours, you can upload an image and request identification.
