Well that is just adorable!
Coincidentally, I started working on a Yor set of ships two days ago, they are VERY bug like, and lots of moving parts, but I am looking forward to some more organic looking part sets from the other races maybe, the Altarians just don't quite cut it for me.
One thing I learned with the eye piece you used there as well, is that it works well with the Scale animation, just scale it by say 8-10% at a decent speed and it makes the eye look like it is "pulsating".
Might also work on a model as a sort of "boil" or such...
