Not sure what the blue insect is. Somebody told me it was a "damsel fly". It looked like a small blue dragonfly and for some reason decided to oblige and pose for me!:D

Excellent start with the tubes, you just missed eye focus on the bee but the damselfly is wonderful.
Not sure what aperture you were using but if you want more detail at the expense of DOF when using tubes around 1.5:1 or above try using F8-F11.
