It is more than fine, Blaine! It is not possible to find individual pictures for all of them. For this topic, it is more than good, let's hope we can find individual pictures for all the finalists of this category.
Thanks to you this is a populated category but maybe it is better to mention it is 3 choices each member. It will turn easier the final countdown.
I may edit my post later with my personal choices.

my choices:

1. Kaiyodo Revogeo giant water bug
2. Bandai Spirits giant Devil's flower mantis
3. Bandai flying peacock spider (male)

Great topic and models! Another tough decision!
1) Takara Tomy Orchid Mantis
2) Bandai Giant Devil's Flower Mantis
3) Kaiyodo Water Bug

A hard choice, but based on pictures I will choose:

1.) Takara Tomy Orchid Mantis

2.) Kaiyodo Giant Water Bug

3.) Papo Swallowtail Butterfly

I'd like to vote for Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. Primary Color Mimetic Insects - orchid mantis, and the one which is marked A, and captioned as Phillium Giganteum in what text I can read in the image.

Apologies for whoever has to sort out the nominations, I can't tell which name tallies with which insect when they're not given the same in-image and on-forum, but I do like that leafy-looking green one a lot!

1 Kaiyodo Revogeo Water bug
2 Tokara Tomy orchis mantis
3 Bandai Rhaetulus didieri
