I wonder what that is behind or to the right of the insects eye? A sensory organ perhaps? It appears as though and opening of some sort with what looks like or resembles a peristome but of course this is not a mouth of sorts but it is the best I do to describe what I am looking at. Shows up really well in the fourth image. Maybe it could be a scar from where something like a wing was once attached. Really like these images though, quite detailed.

I think you're looking at the 1st thoracic spiracle, on the prothorax. It's remarkable how much more obvious that is with fluorescence.
