picture 2 and 4 are the best..... 2 is a bit dark, but wonderful details..... I think you used a filter

i like the second one... but not sure what it is... no idea!

2 abd four for me ! great shots!!

I can't really answer the "gallery worthy" question. I don't treat my gallery as a portfolio. I post to share, rather than in measuring quality. Here are a few comments to chew on though... #1 Is a great action shot, especially for it being indoors with low lighting. Terrific job. #3 doesn't have a whole lot going for it. To me it doesn't have enough detail and it's a bit dark. #4 I'm not much for dead bug shots, although I'm sure someone is! #2 I like best of the whole bunch. I'm not sure what kind of bug it is, but its eyes and the fact that it's peeking over the top of the rock makes it interesting for me. You need to track him down for another photoshoot! The only thing I'd do is crop some of the rock off, to give the subject more prominence. Maybe some from the bottom as well as the right side. Just my two cents worth, keep the change!

lm with fuzzyshadows... l cant say whats actually gallery worthy... l to treat my gallery as a portfolio, and post to share, rarely post to compare quality, isnt always my best photography, but just get satisfaction out of peoples enjoyment !!! and my own lm not a critique of peoples work or a forum expert... but a photographer and artist, rarely the two go together. but willing if asked for advise as limited as it is.. and l always think to myself if in my heart l know l,ve achieved my very best..and also have full enjoyment out of the composition... doesnt matter what the critiques think. Often l know when mistakes have been made.. and the quality isnt of my best.. but its the share enjoyment of sharing with others... and l like all your compositions above and if l was you post then all... but l do love composition 2, 4.... have saying that... go for it.. post post post..!!!!! have fun

I like 2,3 and 4. # could hold some editing creativeness but there isn't too much to work with in this shot...

#1 is a cool action "capture the moment" kinda shot!

#2 (My favorite) I believe is a dragonfly nymph shell (they shed their skin before turning into a full fledge d-fly) This is composed well (IMO)! Info is here

3# Black and Yellow spider - is blurry and lacks detail - seems like there is a fog on the spider.

4# Dead Bee - detail is ok, but not really that interesting of a shot to me (doesn't grab my attention)

Everyone has their own definition as to what "gallery quality" means! Thats up to you to decide really...personal preference and what images you like to share is whats important in the end!
