Hi Richard, a lot of macro photos were made with two flashes on arms on both sides of the camera. I think for many animals, this is even better than a ringflash (as a ringflash will get you much more decreasing light with distance, thus creating more tunnel effect).
Try it - it's not that much expensive when you have a flash already. Just some cords, a second inexpensive flash (even 330 or 240ftz will suffice for macro as second flash, I think, you don't need tilt/swivel). Also, put some neutral density over the 500ftz if it's too strong to quench fast enough. Metz makes nice plastic ND filters for their flashes, which could be adapted to 500ftz, or purchase ND gel filters from lighting supplier (these may not last that long, though).
