I've successfully helped people I.D. insects at least to genus without pics based on region and physical description and I've been helped, as well. I emailed a lep. specialist I worked with last semester recently about a strange moth I found and he got back to me quickly with two suggestions of what it could be. I had it I.D.'d to species by the end of the day based on his suggestions and I never gave him any pictures. So, sometimes a general description is enough to get started. All I need is a general idea of where to start looking, if nothing else. Even a possible family ID can be helpful. Basic suggestions on what it could be and where I could find more information on my own (or anything else anyone has to offer) are fine, too. I'm not asking for a down-to-species completely accurate I.D. (that's even impossible with pictures in many cases), just something more to go on.. Again, I am perfectly willing to provide a more detailed description to anyone who thinks they may have at least an idea of what I'm dealing with, but I can't post any pictures because I don't have a camera right now, so don't ask. I'll take pictures if and when I can.</blockquote>
