Oh! The animal is much more alien than I thought :-) It could use some more
details indeed, but I would not change much to the basic idea. Concentrate
instead on the skin, with perhaps some wrinkles, especially at junction
legs/body?
Yes, the insects form an interesting composition. However, I prefer the
other one. In this view, they would need to show perhaps a more undulating
flight path.

It doesn't need much brains really. It goes where it is told to go!
