Well I managed to grab a free hour this afternoon and a 40 minutes this evening to test my focus light torch... seen here
All in all this setup is working very well to my liking lighting seems very good and I'm getting better images than I expected out of Kit lens... this has definitely put the MP-E on back burner.
Think I will get another torch to go the other side to help too... torch power lasted about 2hrs then started to wane and focusing became harder (as if its not hard enough at 4x)
All these shots are not cropped and shot at 18mm with closest focus.
4x Magnification : @mattd85 as you were interested
1. As @TimmyG said I needed more magnification in a previous post with Nymph's

2. Have no idea what it was doing. --- Think it was trying to burrow

7. Weevils have such tiny heads getting focus is a nightmare when light is waning.

Lots more images to come from the sessions today but... these are the ones I got at full Magnification.
All comments welcome and appreciated. Also any ideas on how to create a focus light that doesn't involve torches would be much appreciated, was think those LED light strips from maplin around the stofen diffuser or the lens itself might work but not sure how bright they are,
