I made a wonderful discovery today! Apparently there are flies that like to hang out on the trunk of the Japanese maple in my backyard.
I'm still very new at trying to capture live insects handheld, but these were kind enough to stay still.
In all the photos, the flies were actually pointed head-down, but that was making me dizzy while editing, so I rotated them horizontal.

All photos taken with D500, Sigma 105mm, 68mm of tubes, and Godox TT685 with homemade diffuzer

No, this is handheld. The flash and shutter speed helped with the motion blur, I think.

Yes, most of what I do is focus stacking on a tripod with inanimate subjects. Much easier!

Tripods and rail are just good friends of macro photographers
