You must get closer. NONE of your images are macros. All are close-up photographs. You have cropped the wasp image too much. It was in front of your plane of focus originally (out of focus), and enlarging does not improve your image. A macro image must retain detail. Otherwise it is just an enlargement that exceeds acceptable resolution.
If you cannot get closer, then you do not have the right lens. True macro-photography requires proper equipment. Some photographers (with standard lenses) add thread-in diopter lenses to front of their lens, and others add extension tubes between camera and lens. There are several ways to achieve pseudo-macro, but nothing other than a purpose-designed macro lens will provide sterling results.
