As some will know I invested in a new macro lens last week and it arrived yesterday, so I have been scouting around the garden, like you do, for likely suspects. The lens is a Canon RF100mm IS USM f/2.8 macro, Being used with my Canon R7. So far I am very impressed with it's capabilities. I just need to improve the guy hanging on the back of the cameras capabilities a bit ... . All shots were taken hand held with no flash or anything.

Zebra Jumping Spider on top of my shed door
I believe this is a Quedius Curtipennis better known as some kind of Beetle ...
And another ... Well it's the same one really ...
