Got to say ... the first one looks like he's trying to be like a lama. The second is an insanely clear photo. And the last, the soldier beetle ... their mating mostly last for hours and hours without a break ... I think I should also need to eat for energy if I had to do that :-D

But wow, really nice macro photography, with a really good DOF and sharpness.

A little disapointing that you haven't photographed the environment for another post ... but good you relaxed and enjoyed your holidays!
