I like no. 3 the most. It's so hard to make acceptable macros of this kind of insects. If you show the hole insect you lose some of the idea with macro and if you go close to the body you cut these long antennas

Thanks for the comments Jorgen. Yes these crickets are particularly difficult as they lay out flat on a leaf but I wanted to show the translucence of the body.

3 for me, but the others are very good too
