What's That Bug is a web site for helping to identify bugs. You can browse of course but you can also take a picture of your bug, alive or smashed on your windscreen etc., and they will probably identify it for you. You send it to them with an email and the photos as attachments.

lmao at the 'nasty emails from readers' section. i remember when so many more sites had sections like that

 the list is basically unchanged since the 90s, still updated constantly, and is the best source for concerts in the Bay Area that there is, and has been for at least 20 years.

http://www.foopee.com/punk/the-list/

the changelog:

code:
Jul 10, 2019: Fixed a bug that prevented updates. Sorry!
Oct 7, 2018: Fixed some parsing problems.
Nov 12, 2009: First update in 7 years! Some parsing problems, should be getting better.
Apr 2, 2002: Fixed bug that prevented The List from updating.
Jan 16, 2002: Also, I updated my email address. The old one probably hasn't been working for years, so if you sent me anything important, please re-send.
Jan 16, 2002: Oops! My date "fix" was actually broken. I think it's really fixed now.
Jan 15, 2002: First update in almost 6 years! Fixed some date-related bugs.
Oct 11, 1996: After numerous email requests, I added a legend for the list symbols!
Mar 29, 1996: Snazzy new white background. More readable!
