sorry, I can't be gushy. First: take good images of your work, blurred images are never going to it any justice. Learn about the dependence of depth of focus on the aperture of your camera.
Also use your imagination way more.
While not a bad start, they don't have a look which is different from many others of that kind I've seen. Push your imagination way more. Get either more detailed (and anatomically correct beyond 6 legs and a head) or really crazy. Put real work into each. It doesn't look to me like you expend enough effort. take the legs of the first one, the angle you've bent each leg clearly shows you just bent it, it's not a sharp but very rounded angle. It would look far better of you made it a sharp or even hyper acute angle. Yes, that would involve a ton more work and forging (which you could easily do using a oxyacetylene set and a hammer). And don't leave the outlines of your drawing on the wings. don't have them all equal thickness. Pound them thinner on one side. You want to have dynamics. If you use a piece of sheet metal, you don't want the viewer think OK, this is a piece of sheet metal and it represents a wing. You want them to think that's the wing and how cool, it's really just a piece of sheet metal.
Also don't just use steel, use brass, copper, whatever you can find. Leave the rust and thus individuality on some parts. Get crazy and keep working!

I looked. Looks like you had fun. The pics don't give a feeling for the actual size of them. Guess I must be the one ho-hum, they did not do too much for me. But that is art, keep doing it.

I love to make steel insects also. Unfortunately there is no way I can show them to you. Make more!
