Couple Macro attempts

These three images appear to be close-up photographs, technically not macro-photographs. The best way to "learn" to see true macro, is to set your lens to manual, and set focus to Minimum Focusing Distance (MFD). Now physically move camera/lens combo in-&-out towards subject, capturing image when in focus. With your 100-mm macro lens, the Working Distance (lens front element to subject), will be about 6.2-inches. Any farther away is a close-up, not a macro-photograph.

Tom is correct! Also, with such high pixel count, and such high resolution capture, cropping to macro proportions is a real possibility, as shown here.very good focus, just get a little closer.

You are most certainly welcome. Bugs simply don't do it for me, well maybe a pretty butterfly perhaps.

Perhaps a ring light and lose the tripod is the way to go.
I bought the non IS lens because I felt I would be shooting off tripod, Now I discover the tripod keeps the working distance far from optimal.
