They ain't bad - 1st and last ones probably the better ones. I'm no expert you need someone like Jeroen to tell you how it's done.
If it were me, I would start early morning when they are a bit colder so they don't move so fast. Set up my camera on a tripod: zoomed in, continous shooting, macro mode aimed at a flower head where I know they will arrive then sit and wait with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Soon as one arrives fire by remote if you have one.
But then I like the couch potato style of photography :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
