These are really, really good. Are you freezing the insects or just trying to work as fast as humanly possible? You know you can freeze them temporarily right? My metz 54 flash when it was in working order would throw out enough light for macro like this and recycle instantly. Its not a ring light though, and that's probably what you want. Honestly, if I was getting shutter speeds like that with 800, I would just keep working with the natural light. These look amazing.
