420EX is ok but it would be nice to be able to control output on the flash itself like I can with my Canon ringflash. I think the newer 430EX has this ability.

Thanks, wish I was in California right now! Interesting to see the Thrips larvae in your Aphid shots - they must be tiny.

Okay there's a challenge for everyone - a smiling insect; will look through my files to see what I can find!
