I blended three photos of different exposure and tone mapped them in Photomatix. A little too much HDR perhaps but I liked it 🙂

A bumblebee on a Lavender. It is not easy taking shots of insects which are feeding off of blossoms. They fly away to the next flower very quickly :-).

Green larva on my kitchen counter
It was in some brokkoli I bought. I let it go outside so maybe it has become a butterfly by now?

Water drop on curry plant Helichrysum italicum with an artificial flower shining through (refraction). I took several images with different focus and stacked them in Helicon Focus.
Jellyball with pink aquarium flower shining through focus stacked
I placed a small ball of jelly on a plastic leaf and lined up an aquarium flower behind it.
Weevil beetle getting ready to fly
I caught a weevil getting ready to fly. I took many photos and ended up with a good one. I used a Sony A7C, Laowa 85mm 2:1 macro lens and a Godox V350S flash. I was lucky with the green background.
Drop on leaf flaming Katy shines through close-up focus stacked
I got a drop of water to stick on a leaf and placed a flaming Katy flower behind it. I took several shots and stacked them in Helicon Focus so every part of the drop and leaf is in focus.
