Not essential, but with flash you can stop right down and get the best DOF available from the lens, and obviously use a higher shutter speed accordingly. The problem with close flash like a ringflash is that it illuminates just the small area being photographed, and it usually looks like night in the background. This can be balanced somewhat with a slave flash on the background, especially if in studio conditions. I dare say it doesn't do the bugs any good.
