Knowing they spend their life killing other insects, #3 gives me an unusual and slightly disturbing "look me in the eyes" experience :)

Great shots.

The details continues to impress me a lot, but in the first one there is a "fuzzy" area under the mouth?

I'll echo all the praise regarding the detail. With all the armour plating and sensory apparatus emerging from the body, it seems like an extraterrestrial life form on an exploratory mission to Earth.

These amazing details do remind me of a Star Trek quote "It is not life as we know or understand it. Yet it is obviously alive, it exists." according to Spock.
