I've always seen the show Freakylinks as a very good source for InSpectres inspiration. I just ocurred to me that I don't think I've seen it mentioned around here. In case anyone missed it here's a link.. it contains a breif summary of all episodes.

Speaking of inspiration... Jared, have you read the "Age of Reptiles" graphic novels by Ricardo Delgado?
Now, I don't exactly know what Tooth and Claw is about (since you haven't released a whole lot about it...), but this seems to fit perfectly with my vague impressions; cool stories about normal dinosaurs (i.e. no speaking, historically accurate, etc).
