Try using UVMapping?

I answer the criticism about my dragonfly's eyes
I started with photographical documents.
The scale of theeyes is to big to see the hexagon cells. Only the reflexion
of ligth forms an hexagon as you can see on the photo. I could'nt represent
that, its too difficult for me!!!!

You're right, the hexagonal structure is not apparent (maybe a 
definition/quality issue), but there is clearly something not quite right 
in your eyes (I mean, the dragonfly's eyes). You should try some kind of 
strongly blurred reflection at least (there have been some threads about it 
in these groups).
