Better pictures

I agree with v belov. You must try to improve your photography; you have some great stuff, so it is worth getting good pictures.
Ask for help in the forums; lots of people are willing to help. You could link to this image, for instance, and tell what camera you used and what settings and I am sure that somebody will be able to give you some tips. Even if you don't know that information some people can figure it out in many cases. Please, do it; some of your bugs are too valuable not to give it a try.

this is a histerid. maybe some kind of nitidulid, but hard to tell from this angle and lighting.
