Welcome to macro. Great series, all lovely photos..

In flight of dragonflies are not easy – you did very well. Looks like it might be a migrant hawker in which case you did very very well, those suckers are fast.

beautiful orchid shot and the wasp in #4 works quite well despite being partially obscured.

Thanks!
You're right, it's extremely difficult to get good focus on one of those dragons in flight! Especially when using the 350d with a 70-300 IS as I did. This lens doesn't have very fast AF at all, so I had to be pretty patient to get some pretty good shots. Here are two more:
