Wow the detail is astounding on these. How on earth do you take enough pictures to focus stack when your subject is moving? Are you taking these on a tripos with focusing rails? This looks like it would be very tricky plus manually focusing on something that is moving. Fantastic job!

Thanks for the comments

They are all hand held and the first 2 shots are just 2 shot stacks I think. The bee got "cold" when the sun went behind a cloud. I was then able to pick off the leaf it was on and place it on a hard surface where I was able to do some longer stacks by resting the lens on the same surface.
