We'll unlink the first image since
it is definitely an image of a different individual. Are these six pictures all of the same individual?

No. Each shot is of a different creature. There were literally hundreds if not thousands of these things crawling across the desert floor. They were all headed in the same general direction.

The first image was in a different location. I made the assumption (my bad) that it was the same "thing", which of course it might not be.
