Now we see them! The first two images appear quite dark on my calibrated monitor.
The katydid is just a bit dark, and reminds me of Skeletor!.

It's good to see a new macro shooter posting. Next time try downsizing your image files. Smaller files load better & usually look just as good. Nice bombylius. Looking forward to your next post.

I have deleted your duplicate post. Your pixel counts here look good to me, enlarging quite nicely.
Tell us about your illumination set-up.

This file size looks very good, I wouldn't change anything, except maybe a bit more light :wink:

Love the katydid! The bee does need a little more light. I don't have the patience for macros - my subjects tend to disappear before I get their photo!

Nice shots.
Did you spray them both with water or was that natural?
The first fly has a bit more than the second shot so was just curious. Welcome.

It was early morning and the droplets were already there. Normally you can't get one to sit still
