Ran into a few problems with the Dragon fly stack. Lose detail of the fine hairs around the nose. Could not clone in without cloning the blurred background along with the fine hair. I can see where having Photoshop and the ability to Layer would help in stack like this. Grass hopper turn out alright. Grasshopper was 9 photo stack, dragonfly was 20 photo stack. Used f/9 for both. Field stacking is a challenge.
Second photo of dragon shows the fine hair detail above the nose I'm missing in the final stack.
Amazing photos, the second dragon fly photo made me say "wow" out loud.

I'm amazed as well. Well done.
Hey.Tom
this guy was setting still but still moved his head from side to side. I just waited until he was done moving his head. Now his antenna I had to clone correct as he moved these the entire time. My finished stack had two antenna on the left side and a blurry one on the right side. I also took 3 sets of photos to stack and this one was the best set because I moved to much in one and he moved to much in the other.

This is why most insect focus-stack photographers use deceased subjects.
I'm impressed, especially with #2
