...(from top-to-bottom): 5D3 + EF 35mm f2 IS for the first two, M6Mk2 + EF-M 28mm macro for the last one; the last two images were not cropped, only downsized

(1) With the help of Google Images for identification purposes, the bug is a tree cricket?

(2) Macro photography on a sunny, windy day with a moving bug as the subject, a subject that seems to sense my presence...is difficult! A few quick tips from those reading this are welcome...
