What free/online resources do you use to help ID what you photograph?

I use a bunch. A partial list is below, I have a lot more I use, but those bookmarks are on another computer. I’m on my work computer so the focus is more on SE Asia than the bookmarks on my personal computers

First off, I have some listed on one of the pages of my old blog (not updated for a long time)
