I suggest you share information about the location of the most complete and interesting databases of insect images on the web. Probably everyone has these in their bookmarks!
I offer, which shocked me with its quality and completeness, a database of leaf beetles from Europe and the Mediterranean made by a Polish entomologist, specialist in chrysomelids, Lech Borowiec from the University of Wroclaw:

And there is also a database on Cassidins of the World:

Does anyone know a gallery of hymenoptera, particularly wasps or bumblebees

I can offer you an excellent professional website http://www.bembix.de
Where there is a large gallery with hundreds of photos of wasps and bees defined before the species

http://www.bembix.de/gallery/index.htm

In addition there is a website dedicated to public wasps and their nests with many photos
http://users.swing.be/entomologie/Guepes.htm

and its English version (for some reason with a pesky advertising banner)
http://trans.voila.fr/ano?anolg=65544&anou...ogie/Guepes.htm

and even more likely a popular science site http://www.vespa-crabro.de/directory.htm

Separately about bumblebees, a very solid page of the British Museum: the BOMBUS project
is true in the illustrative part there are only photos of male genitalia, but the catalog of world species is exhaustive!

Macrolepidopter ALL hawkmoth of the Eastern Palearctic (Siberia, Far East, Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan)
Photos of excellent quality, 5 stars to the site!

Lepidopterological forum in German, people put up a photo, the chorus is determined and it goes to the galleries. And there! Hundreds and hundreds of identified micro and macro lepidoptera.

if you didn't figure it out right away, then click zur Bestimmungshilfe on the first page and then
click Taxonomische Navigation

Well, for the sweet, The Lepidopter Catalog of French colonies in the Caribbean (Antelope, Guiana, Martinique, etc.) Thousands of photos!

it seems that there was a topic on photo sites about insects, but I didn't find it...

In the Entomology Discussion List <ENTOMO-L@listserv.uoguelph.ca>
there was an email with a link to a site about photographing insects:

Subject: Insect photography websites

Hi all

I've been trying to compile a list of the most useful websites for
information about photographing insects. I was just wondering if
anyone on the list had any suggestions for good ones that I've
missed. You can see the current page of links at http://web.mac.com/
rknell/iWeb/Bugsite/Links.html if you're interested, along with some
of my attempts to take photos of small things that move around.

Cheers
