Not quite macro images

Today I captured A Sailor Beetle, A Four-spotted Plant Bug(?) and A Yellow Dung Fly. These aren't macro images, I don't actually own a macro lens, but my 40-150mm lets me get reasonably close. It was a little tricky to get these in focus, what with them being so small, and a persistent breeze to battle with.

Triptych of bugs

I did also try the in-built focus stacking on the OM1-II, but too many artefacts in the final jpg made me bin those. If it wasn't for the wind, I suspect that would have been quite useful for these.
