Lovely set Ishrani.

#2 like mayfly fly in the air.
How to ID the male or female?

#1 like it, the whites might be a little too bright, but check if highlights blinks, my monitor can be a little off.
#2 I see no spider web, to me you caught it flying
#3 I think its the best of the set
#4 also very good
#5 nice
#6,7 a second flash for background would work great here, but your main flash is working great
#8 needs a wider aperture for less DOF and softer background

excellent set my dear.
love the mayflies,and the dragon best

Thank you everyone for your fine comments.
tat/I was of the opinion that the male Mayfly had the "thingies" sticking out of his rear but after doing some research,I am not too sure my assumptions were correct! I still am unsure...
WarlOrd/the second shot actually did have a sliver of a spider web attached to the Mayfly; not too noticeable to the naked eye actually. I totally agree with your feed-back re the last shot; the background is somewhat "washed out"and not the desired effect I was seeking, but you know, you win some and you lose some! Thank you for your positive suggestions.

Great set Ishrani. I'm noticing that your shots are getting more exposure than some older sets I remember. Have you changed your lighting?

Excellent.
Spookey May Fly shot.

Very pretty set. Except for no wing blur you could have lied and said the mayfly was flying

I do not know how far back you are thinking, schlagle. I used a ring light last Summer and switched this year to a Canon flash 270ex with extension tubes. (Deni set me up with that and has it posted on his Flickr).
Thank you for your lovely comment.

Thank you, Snowy.
Crimzon, although he was dangling, there was a slight wind factor I had to deal with, plus his movements in trying to free himself, and yes, I could have said he was flying despite not having wing blur but that would be a lie, something I fail miserably at!

just an outstanding set my friend! love that may fly in the air
