*(How it works; a sensor in the box sees the flash go off on my camera and instantly sets off the flash attached to it. I can put it anywhere, nearby or not so near, behind, above, beside, bouncing off a reflector or straight at my critter.)
And since then, for the last two days, I've been spending every spare minute learning how and where to put it. By trial and error, of course; and mainly error. Like shooting an entire series of a running carpet beetle larva, and then finding out that I'd forgotten to turn on the extra flash. Or shooting through a separate lens without checking to see how clean it was. After half a dozen sessions of this, the larva is not pleased with me, at all.
Meanwhile, isn't this a pretty baby slug?

More trials tomorrow. I've had it for today. So has my larva.
You are my macro hero! I bought a macro lens because of your work!
