My First Macro photography attempt | I NEED HELPπŸ˜’πŸ™

Honestly speaking, I never thought taking close ups of insect would have even resulted to being this difficult and complex. Over the last few weeks I've been learning much about macro photography. I fell in love with almost all of the macro shots taken by some great photographers and I saw that most people made use of a macro lens attached to their phone camera, so I immediately ordered for one at jumia.com at $9.
I was excited when it arrived and said to myself I'm about to be one of the nice macro photographers on blurt and so I immediately started looking up for some macro photography tips. Learnt few from YouTube. Not until yesterday when I decided to go out to test my macro lens and sincerely speaking I wasn't impressed at all with the photos, so I'd like to share with you some of them and how it went :

I guess I wasn't able to tweak some settings well or there's a special settings for a macro lens. Please guys I just need some help. I want to keep feeding this community with some nice macro shots. Please I need some assistance πŸ™.
Kindly help contribute and give me some tips.
Thanks in advance
Here's what the macro lens looks like :
It comprises of a wide angle, a fish eye and a macro lens

Those are great shot for a trial...but the insect gives me the bumps looking at them so close and how many they are. 🀒 I have been hearing a lot about that Xiaomi Redmi note 8 now I see why. πŸ˜€

The insect were very small, no need to freak out πŸ˜‚. Yeah Xiaomi phones do just fine and great
