Might be in the family Chrysomelidae.

One of them focused more to the back, so I combined them in Photoshop. Not a big difference but helps. Interesting you used just two images. I'm enjoying getting to grips with focus stacking. It's all about the light...

I find getting good macro focus very hard when hand-holding. AF is not up to it, and MF isn't either when camera and bug are moving. So I take several shots. Usually one in five or six will be OK. There will be variance in where the focal plane falls. If the shots are all from the same point of view, then it might be possible to stack them. Most of us have Photoshop and it does a good job. Helicon and Zerene are way more convenient, but are expensive. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F

I don't see any difference from the manual shots. Try it on the long legged flies. They tend to be nervous and will take off at the preflash that you get with TTL.

Yes done decided that will not work on long legged flies only difference I see with TTL is a little more illumination in the background and shadows

I was going to get a twin flash but ended up getting the Flashpoint V-1 the modeling light works great for focus assist and love not having to use batteries plus it is much lighter
