I have an LW scientific stereo microscope, and got a few dead bugs in acrylic blocks for my boys to view. They look like freaking monsters under ten and thirty magnification.
I noticed something interesting about their legs. All of them had two claws on the ends of their legs. The wasp, ant, housefly, scorpion, beetle, cricket, and even the spider. It seems this little feature works pretty well for bugs, so hasn’t changed a lot across a handful of species.
Here are some drawings I made:
