First of all your organic forms with contour lines are good and consistent for the most part, most of them fitting them snugly on the silhouette, but you can definitely improve the way you construct your sausages as I see a few ones with swellings.
As to your insect construction you handled it pretty well, they do convey a sense of 3D, and you handled the sausage method for the legs pretty well.
But I will emphasize a point here that I think is keeping you from making the most of these.
And that is the fact that these are exercises, the end result doesn't really matter beyond being something I can use to see the process you used.
I'm only calling that out because there are some cases where you slipped back into form shading (which as discussed in Lesson 2 is not something we'll include in our work for this course).
These are the only things that I notice, honestly you did a great job.

Lesson 5
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
