If you're looking for information about a species, you might want to give iSpecies.org a whirl. This new search engine queries three sources: NCBI, Yahoo Image Search, and Google Scholar. iSpecies.org claims to work best if you enter a species' scientific name.
I tried a search for Lymantria dispar (gypsy moth) and was very pleased with the results, which were divided into three neat sections: genomics info from MyNCBI; some nice (well, as nice as gypsy moths can be) images of the organism in various stages of its lifespan; and links to a number of scientific journal articles from Google Scholar.
Hosted at Glasgow University's Department of Zoology, iSpecies also has an associated blog.
