If you drive around the neighbor hood and look for local flowering weeds you'll find more subjects to photograph. Some of my best photographing happens on the side of the road on the flowering weeds

You are off to a good start, but I want you to increase your DoF. For example, your image #3 was captured ISO 320, 1/125-sec at f/8. If you can increase your illumination, you can decrease your aperture to f/16, and considerably increase your DoF, keeping entire moth in focus.

Thanks for the info Douglas,so I guess I should crank up the flash and the f/stop to get more dof correct?
