You USMed the pictures? If yes what setting?

First shot is nicely done, perhaps a slight lack of dof on the wing tips. Flash is a bit harsh.

Second shot : The space around the subject doesn't add much to the picture. Would prefer a tighter crop.

Actually the 1st one is Zizeeria maha serica (Pale Grass Blue) and the 2nd one is Zizula hylax pygmea (Pygmy Grass Blue).
