Are you asking for critique or a bug ID or neither?
 
I'm not sure about the bug, I'm pretty sure I've seen it before though.

I like the third one the best because of the angle. I would have liked to see the entire bug in focus and not so tight to the left of the frame.

Looks like the sun was pretty low in the sky, makes for some nice light.
 
All were taken early this morning...it at first had been on the opposite side of the building I work at but I picked it up and brought it over to where there was some nice morning light coming up...I should have been a little further away and then cropped in so more of the beetle was in focus...but I don't think I got its address before we did the shoot so I guess I'll have to wait around until I see another one...:meh:
 
It's definitely not a spider. Easiest way to tell is the number of legs. It's some kind of water beetle due to the hairs on its legs.
