All good. But the last one for me, please. It's an action shot - the beast is trying to do something, rather than looking like it's just standing around waiting for a person with a camera to turn up. And the full res view of the 'fleshy' bit above the middle leg is stunning in a yukky sort of way.
Now here's a thought - how about a fly at the end of a blade of grass with both the eyes of the fly and the tip of the grass in focus and no specular highlights (Steve dives for cover...) ???

Derek you're wasted with a camera in your hand. I'm sure there's a role for you as a ninja warrior somewhere in Japan with those fly sneaking skills.
All the gear with no idea

I'm liking #4, that's one scary-looking dude/girl. seemingly jumping out at you from the out of focus area to the left.

The biggest issue is specular highlights, but that is mainly down to diffusing, I also need to come up with a hood for my lens as I had one built into the ringflash diffuser I used to use. I havent manage to eliminate the specular highlights but I have gotten them down by about 80% Id say.
Here are a few flies from today, not quite where I want them to be yet, but getting there
