Not a bad set. You did well to get detail on that mite being so small. Well done.

PS:

I don't know if caterpillars actually lay eggs. Butterflies and moths do tho. Just saying like😁😁😉

Good point - sloppy English.

Yes, caterpillars are the immature (larvae) state of development
of Lepidoptera, order of insects that includes butterflies and moths.

Do I see a lack of critical sharpness in these takes?

I dig the eggs shot!

I fear you are right I am not sure why - this was taken with the same lens and aperture and looks sharp.

Not really, I think I still see a critical focus issue though not as bad.
I do shoot insects sometime and it is quite challenging.

What gear do you use?

I use MPE65 with Canon 40 (no autofocus)
and 60 mm with Canon 7DMKII or Canon 90

I have extended knowledge of Nikon's stuff in 24x36 format but
it is limited to that. Possibly, the best suggestion I could make is
to recommend you the RFM strategy.
