Good job. Those dang things are giving me a hard time too.

These black ants are large, some of them are up to 10mm long ( 3/8" ), but they have proven hard to photograph.
They just don't stop, its hard enough keeping them in the viewfinder let alone in the focus zone .

Handheld macro shots of dragonfly. Most of the shots fill the frame. Shot from about 1 foot away, the dragon fly was very obliging.

Plenty of hanging dead insects around here too.

My 105mm f2.8 AIS lens developed an extremely tight focusing action, hence I was always shooting it at the maximum magnification end 1:0.88. After using it for a year, yesterday I found that with some effort I could move the focusing ring, so I set it to the other end - 1:2. Here a few shots at 1:0.88. As it is tedious to use focusing ring for focus, I just set it at desired magnification, and move back and front to get sharp focus. F/44 and SB800 help a lot to get the DOF.

Now some shots at 1:2
