That is an interesting discovery since this is one I have never seen!
#1 is my favourite, wondering if there would be any way to increase
the separation… not in tonality but in details.

2 & 3 are fab as this shows the colour well against the plant, 1, 4, 5, 6 as said more separation and No 7 some adjustment to bring out the head a bit better.
Other than that a fine specimen of a insect and nice shots especially the stacks
