Lovely picture. Nicely done, josephandrews.

Thanks. I literally know nothing about taking pictures of blooms/blossoms/flowers etc. No snark intended: reading (and contributing) to this forum is a nice diversion for yours truly, especially during these pandemic times.

Thanks again.

...and led to these the next day--





...(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...

Pasque flower, also known as the prairie crocus (not a true crocus, though, actually a type of anemone)
R + EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro

Daffodil (I added some texture, thus the graininess)

Seems like a server error, I will reload the photos later today.

Pink dogwood (with help from Google Image Search!):

nice framing with the two blossoms out of focus. This creates some depth.

Tulips with different focal length, all R5 @ 35mm (f/1.8), 50mm (f/1.4), 400mm (f/8)

Floral arrangement + a little "intentional camera movement"

I know I'm very late responding, but the bug looks to me like a nymph of an assassin bug or some other true bug. I thik it is predatory, based on the long mouthparts. Nice photo!
