| Well, first get some decent reference images and as many photos as possible (different angles).
Also if possible see one in real life to get a "feel" for it.
Try and get at least two reference images (left side and front if possible) if you have more then even better.
Start off were ever you find comfortable, then slowly work your way though, if you get stuck don't worry, make sure you save under different names (i.e. different versions) eg:
start_v1
mesh_detail_v2
mesh_head_body_v3
etc.. you get the idea, this way if you make mistakes, just load up the previous version and carry on.
Also, try and visualise the key parts of the insect and how you would approximate it, sometimes using standard primatives to start if off.
Hope that helps.
