A few more I got round to editing. The cicada head is a stack made from about 30 images - found it drowned in swimming pool so could move it round more.
Not having much luck with handheld stacks so far. I made a stack of the mantis head as well, but it looked worse than this individual still. I'm terrible at keeping a steady hand.
Things I've learnt so far - I should probably get a little macro tripod with a slider thing rather than trying to make do with a beanbag. I should stop ignoring cleaning my lens/sensor. My flash diffuser isn't great - have just bought a can of pringles to DIY a better one out of.
