Very nicely done, and you've got some good looking subjects there too.

It is possible to get them slightly cleaner (regarding dust/debris) and rejuvenate the eyes of specimens like your Chrysodema radians. Here's a good article (the author is active on this forum too).

But if they are highly prized specimens it might not be worth the risk!
