Stinkbug, Wasp, Fly

Slim pickings today. Barely started shooting before it suddenly turned dark and windy. Then after I reached home, weather became sunny again.

Sting Bug shot (1st one) is nice. Try to compose it diagonally in the Rule of Thirds. The flash is quite hash. Use diffuser to overcome this hash lighting.

The rest of shots would prefer to shoot from the side view of the insect.

The flash unit already had a diffuser attached, perhaps I should have tried compensation. It was rather dark so I just left it as it was. The bug was upside down underneath the leaf. (so you can imagine what I looked like trying to take the shot).
