<<Yeah just get the mics close...you can use lavalier mics and just  
get them right up in there. Or any mic really, if you can get it close  
and still have it held steadily.>>

Yes, but be aware that lavaliers, or any small diaphragm mics, have  
inherently worse self-noise than large diaphragm mics, & since small  
insects are likely to be very quiet the best possible noise specs will  
be fairly critical.
