Taken with my hand and camera inside a plastic pitcher to get close enough to where this wolf spider and her brood were temporarily captured. This was the only way I could take the picture without losing my subject. My hand and arm had imaginary baby spiders crawling on them for hours afterwards.

Not too bad, although it was obviously taken in captivity and doesn't look natural at all. One other problem; there's no way I'm going to give a good rating to a spider when the challenge is titled "INSECTS". A spider is an arachnid, and anyone who tries to pass one off as an insect deserves to lose points.
I'd like to know what your background is (A plate?), as this helps the composition which is great in every way from layout through to the background itself.
Technically I'd say a tiny bit greater depth of field might have made the hairs on the spider's legs a little bit clearer.
