    The color and clarity of the last shot seems the best to me.

    The last shot is the only one in focus, I know it is really hard to do,
    but it makes a huge difference, the bug needs to be in focus.

    On the second last shot your focus is on the Green Stem,
    but in the last shot your focus is on the Bug thumb.gifclap.gif
