Here's a moth and a spider from my backyard today (taken with extension tubes and 50mm f/1.8) :

Exposure looks good. See a couple of dust spots there, you might want to clone those out and clean sensor for future shots. The tubes really bring out dust spots because they really straighten up the light coming in, making them more prominent. Even worse at smaller apertures.

Nice ones- your moth is a skipper butterfly (often mistaken for moths)

Thanks for the comments and the ID. I probably took about 20 shots of the spider to get a one in focus. It was a breezy day and the whole web was constantly in and out of focus.
