I would have to say say the first one, the insects colour and outlines are much clearer and better. The second one I just find distracting.

I think something between the two myself. One looks too yellow and the other too blue!
There're doing 'it' you know!!!
The background looks slightly "busier" to my eye in the warm one, so I vote for the cooler one.

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
I find them both too busy for a subject that has an overabundance of strong lines on its own. I don't adjust my photos so I can't offer any suggestions on how to do it but a more subdued homogeneous background would work. A green would certainly make the wing texture stand out more.
It's that freaking F8 .... does not make the bokeh quite the way I would have liked it. I should have checked on my camera before i shot it .. but then again, by the time I would have figured out how to do that, they would have been gone. I think they were at the end of doing 'it' .... I could hear a big sigh coming from one of them, not sure which one, though..
