Each of these are quite nice. I especially like the near-transparent woodlouse.

Thanks for the encouragement. The wood louse was so different from the common ones I normaly see. I thought it was albino.

These arthropods mould (shed their old exoskeleton) and before the new one hardens and darkens it is often white or clear and soft, not albino.
Someone called me years ago and had a "albino" cockroach and wanted to known if it was worth anything, in a few hrs it was dark. Not an albino. Albinos in nature usually don't last long as they do not blend in with their surroundings.
If you find an arthropod that you think is an albino keep it and see if it turns dark, if it doesn't it is an albino.
