😂
The 2nd rule is “they are more like guidelines”

OP- Wanna see a quick edit- It's difficult to write certain concepts? If you give me permission I will post it.

My preference would be the second one as the subject, the beetle, is more prominent.

The great Monty Zucker (with whom I studied many times) put it this way “Isolate and simplify” you have a picture of a very interesting insect - let it stop there - you don’t want your background to compete with your subject

Using the rule of thirds would be good. The beetle is too centered in the frame. Here is a photo that shows the rule of thirds. Try cropping some off the left side of the first photo and a little off the bottom.
Nicely done ⭐🔥⭐

Don't mean to contradict, Paul, but what you've stated is the second Rule (wif a cappital 'R') of Photography.
The First Rule of Photography is to claim you know all the rulz, then harp on incessantly about them.
I only mention this because my (your? our? someone's?) advice was required, and what sort of person would I be if I were to break a requirement/rule?
Oh, and my guess would be #2. Though even that could be improved upon.
