Since theeth is away, I figured I would start the thread for him. Hope that’s OK.
So the topic is “AN INSECT”, as set by Zenitor.
Good luck to all.

Ok, here it is: http://www.suncraftdrapery.com/images/insect.jpg
This model is all new, materials were fresh or heavily modified. The only texture used was an old environment map. So this is a pure entry.
This creature was based on the various mechanical bugs spread through out sci-fi, the chief inspiration being a creation of the Dune universe, I believe they’re called hunter-seekers. They’re tools for royal assassination.

I haven’t had much time to do this - it takes ages from when I make it to when it gets on the web, because I have to email my dad’s friend the picture and bla-de-bla. But anyway, the link to the pic will be http://www.reality-test.com/hosting/electromind/blender/bug.jpg. This is a pure entry - I just did it this morning from scratch.
Well, I figured I’d give it a shot.
Rather new at blender, and did this in a couple of hours

I know there’s tons of room for improvement on it, and maybe I’ll get to some before monday.
The first thing I suggest is smoothing.
Okay: A spider is really an arachnid, not an insect, but I figured she was close enough. 
Besides, spiders generally aren’t the size of the average lorry either…

An insect. Kind of a cross between a beetle and and ant and something else.
Pure entry. Everything made and textured in Blender, except for the images used for the ground.

Two insects for the price of one. One is like a stick insect.
