Any glass panes for windows around this display room? Or was that left out
intentionally?
It all makes for a good scene but it looks as if only butterflies are in the
pictures.  Beetles, butterflies? Hmm.

Actually I did have windows in the first few renders I did, however since there
is nothing off camera to reflect, the glass was not noticeable, also it pushed
the render times through the roof.

Yes most of the insects in the pictures are butterflies, however there are
beetles, and other insects, in the picture above the desk, it's just a little
hard to make out.

Is this indoors or open to the outdoors? All the surroundings: the 
lighting, walls, pictures, butterfly collection, lamp, etc. make it look 
indoors, but there is what looks like a weed growing beside the platform 
and something that looks like a rusty can.
Oh, and how big is that car supposed to be? It looks like a children's 
toy...

Oh, well...great work! Interesting pattern on the platform tiles.

I figured that was probably why no glass there (first reason).

Thought those might be larva and pupa stages, was small on this resolution
here.

The camera is outdoors looking "into" a showroom. Yes I know the car looks
toyish, but it's the best I can do, right now anyway, I rather like it.

I was talking about the scale, not the modelling...it looks like it is 
less than 2.5 feet wide, maybe half a meter. And the more I look at it 
the smaller it looks...Making the bricks, plant, and can smaller and 
lowering the platform would probably help.
Or maybe it is the fault of those tiles...my brain seems to place them 
at about 1 foot or 30cm square, which seems about right compared to the 
other surroundings but very odd with the car. Maybe it is just the 
camera angle, or just my eyes...

Though it is kind of silly, complaining about the car being too small, 
with that giant bug standing next to it...great job on the modelling, 
BTW. The legs could use a little work, they don't look jointed enough, 
and the eyes probably should have a smoother texture, but I doubt I 
could do better.
