Yes light seems to become a problem, getting up close. I notice that the lens,
the camera and my big fat head block the light from the usual source, the sun.
I tried some white paper as a reflector, but that often seems to desturb the
insects, just as the lens that is poked up their nose! The standard flash misses
the subject in these conditions, so perhaps a ringflash as with the medical Nikkor
lens might help (even to empty your bank account in one hit!!).
