The best one I can think of for general entomology is Borror and DeLong's "Introduction to the Study of Insects" edited by Charles A. Triplehorn and Norman F. Johnson (7th edition), published by Thomas Brooks/Cole; ISBN 0-03-096835-6. I believe that an 8th edition is planned. This should get you to family, at least, in nearly all currently recognized insect orders, as well as arachnids, millipedes, and centipedes. In order to get to genus or beyond (except for a limited number of common examples), you likely will have to locate works on specific orders or families.

Can you please clarify your last request? There are several field guides to stink bugs - see http://tinyurl.com/4nojjg7 and http://tinyurl.com/4h5qfdw for two examples.

An electronic guide to insect orders can be found at http://tinyurl.com/4aq76tu
Unfortunately, most eguides to insects beyond order appear to be limited to North American insects.
