Very good set Chris, well done. My thoughts:
1 - good composition and well exposed.
2 - prefer the composition of #1
3 - slightly soft focus (on eyes), otherwise good. Well exposed, since Yellow is typically hard to expose against in macro from my experience. It's a tachnidae of some sort (you can tell via the ledge on the rear torso).
4 - bad angle, but very interesting insect. Looks a bit like a syrphidae of some sort.
5 - Lovely shot, nailed focus. I like the OOF background too. Well done.
6 - lovely shot of a dolichopididae (I think I spelt that right lol). Hard to get a shot of, since they have very fast reaction times and usually fly off with the pre-flash. The workaround? Set your flash to manual mode, rather than E-TTL and play with flash ratios, since it does not emit a pre flash.
7 - My guess, the same insect as #4? Pity about OOF.
8 - Much better shot than #7, although every so slightly OOF (you can tell by the lack of eye detail).
A very good effort - you've improved a lot since I was lost online on IIS.
