Nice little set - but that last one has the lighting spot on

Yes, the last one for the light. And No. 4 for the position and pose of the hoverfly. To my eyes, the point of attention in No. 4 is the gap between the hoverfly's front legs and the anther - perhaps crop a little off the top of the picture to make it more central?

Thanks, all, 3 to 5 obviously opportunist shots which came out reasonably well given the constant movement of the subject.
Steve, I tend to agree with your cropping suggestion - the top third of the image doesn't really contribute a great deal as no5 probably illustrates.
Cheers!

They're often the best when wildlife is involved... hang around and grab whatever turns up.

Of the set, number 3 would be my go to shot - it just has that that little extra detail and crispness, to my eye, in the sepals, petals, stamens and anthers of the flower that the hoverfly is feeding from 
By contrast, I find the muted colours and soft focus of the other,with the possible exception of the first, a little underwhelming.
