wow man, seriously impressive creature! If I were to offer any suggestion at all, and would be a rather easy one to do, would be to go back in to your diffuse texture, and further increase the contrast in value and color between the two types of surface.
There's like, this red underbelly, and a brown/grey exoskeleton color. I feel that they are just a bit too close in their value, and it would help all of the different areas of the creature's surface to be more differentiated, thus making all of the truly impressive forms here become more defined. As of now, they become slightly muted, but a bit more range in value would really make this bastard pop!
although I cant help but think your spec map could be dialed in a bit more. do you have control over spec power in your engine? if so- you have no excuse, I DEMAND it be slimier!
I would only say that maybe some variance to the colors of the diffuse to, maybe adding some greens and blues. and some sharper highlights on the small bumps.
I agree with the comments about the specs. The thing that bothers me most are the eyes. Insects usually have some sort of iridescent specular on the eyes. Fix that in your spec.
The modeling and texturing on this creature are top notch!! Kudos!

Awesome job Mr. Firebat.
