I really don't use my phone for anything other than talking so I don't notice other people's phones. I notice their animals :)
One of my friends gets better macros than I do using her phone.
I've had the same issue with velvet ants. I have a super fast camera which helps.
Your right I couldn't get him to hold still long enough fore a decent pick
I believe it is a type of velvet ant, but the photo quality is too poor for a good id
