Ken comes up trumps again - definitely a weevil but haven't a clue what type. I've looked through my field guide and on the web but can find nothing that quite matches the detailed photofit of the suspect you've provided.
Thanks for the additional details regarding your technique, Gary. I've just managed to get hold of a set of extension tubes that, with a little DIY, support AE and TTL flash, so it would seem that I'm on the right track.
I'm intrigued by your use of the Raynox, which I've come to realise many people now use. Is this something I should add to my armoury and in what way is it more useful/preferable to a dedicated macro lens?
A message that all your pictures broadcast loud and clear is that it is well worth investing the time and effort in developing and optimising one's own flash set-up for close-focus/macro work.
Sorry I couldn't PM you direct: as a newbie, I'm still on probation until the end of the month.
Best wishes,
Jon
