Those little critters are hard to keep in focus when working hand held.
It's pretty much hit and miss, and this is the best I've managed so far.
One particular problem with ants is that their hide is hard and shiny.
With a bare flash, the highlights become specular and burned out. Using
a miniature softbox lessen the problem, but it's not all gone. Does
anyone know a good way to handle this without resorting to ring flashes?

You're fortunate the aphids are pretty slow movers, or you'd have a heck
of a time of it!
