Very fine DOF rense and you are correct insects are a good sign ! I did see a fly in the garage last week - that has subsequently either flew the coup or died - other than that , still waiting here.

The DOF is perfect on this one Rense. If insects can be beautiful (and I know they can), this one sure is.

It's a Staphilinidae beetle, or Rove beetle....

You should, it is fun and it delivers great magnification. Oh, and a reverse ring costs less than nothing...
