@arteteco Most of my insect photos are terrible and I throw them away! don't have many good ones. I use a 70/300mm zoom for butterfly photos. You have to move slowly to get close enough for a tight photo. I give up easily and look for another insect.

This very calm Ornate Snipe Fly let me move the leaf he was sitting on! (You can see my fingers.) I used a zoom lens with a cheap extension tube to get his photo.

@arteteco Thanks for the nice words about my photos! I'm a much better writer than I am a photographer.
