The woodlouse is gorgeous; I really like the way that you're imaging at a resolution where you can see the spiracles on insect armour, which are a detail actually below the naked-eye limit. I don't know how much micro-detail there would be on the ladybird nymph in focus (I know focus is a matter of inordinate patience and infinite exposures -- spent a couple of hundred shots on a single mosquito-like thing without getting anything actually worth display).
Have you any possibility of finding a cockchafer or similarly large beetle? Generally I've been able to find smallish black ones in the garden without much trouble, though maybe having to disturb the earth a little. Worms are easy to find, though move a lot; I don't know if they'd be interestingly hairy at your macro's resolution.
