Arachnoboards is my favorite site when it comes to Tarantulas, but what's the best site for all other insects in general? I really want to keep other sorts of bugs and would like find a site with lots of threads on many different insects. Beetles are the next group of insects I'm interested on so a site with good buying/selling forums would be best.

http://bugguide.net is an invaluable resource for information about insects.

You can also be fairly assured of informative responses in the Other Insects and Invertebrates section at Mantidforum. I personally enjoy that particular section of the forum greatly and contribute regularly (including recent posts on assassin bugs and a wheel bug video I made).

Beetles? http://Beetleforum.Net is slow, but you could change that with a post or two!

I'm a proud member of the Entomological Society of America. You can't beat the experts. ;)

Though not really a forum, peer reviewed journals make for good reading.

That ESA site linked me to some websites that sell commercial diets for caterpillars and other insects, mostly invasive insect research. I'm sure they would be of great use to hobbyists as well.
