Great shots! In flight shots can be very spectacular and these are no exception I'm looking forward to trying more in flight shots in the future, though I probably won't get any as good as these!

thank you very much
The problem is that there is nothing to explain, Only trivial techniques for a photographer
D300 and 70/180 macro or 400mm lens. Time fast, Burst and manual focus
and observe the behavior of insects to find the best time to do these shots
This is the simple technical explanation, then the practice field requires training and patience. For the shooting data in my gallery dedicated to these shots to insects in flight under each picture there are data
