Just my opinions:
I would take care of the highlights, they seem blown up a bit. #1 shows the curly thingy which is a salient feature of this bug (I think), the others have it retracted. Maybe a profile shot would be nice too - would have like to see the wings. IMO the lighting may be too defused, maybe more shadowing might give some of the features a bit more depth? The eyes on the last one show this shadowing but I think that was because the position of the flash relative to them. Just minor things really, nice shots and worth the effort you put in.
