I find doli's buggers when it comes to flash as they tend to take off with the pre flash and voila, no fly in shot for main flash.

Dave, I am really pushing the 100mm macro to it's limits in many cases. The doli fly is super sharp as a full-frame image, but this is a very heavy crop.
The Weevil was quite large so there was no issue there even at minimum focus distance. Not a heavy crop on that or the spider, just a trim of the edges is all.
I quite often don't even bother with some of the smaller insects any more as they really need something like the MPE65 to do them justice. I am wasting too much of the frame and losing resolution by cropping for these tiny fellows.
I've never had a problem with the flash scaring insects off. Some red-bellied black snakes I shot last year had a bit of a jump when it went off though. I was only inches away from three of them.
