Another lens or compact camera?

Tripods, remote triggers, setting up speed lights, focus stacking........Sounds like everyone is shooting dead bugs or something.:indecisiveness:
My subjects like to jump, fly and crawl real fast. I'm not killing anything just to get a shot. Not even bugs.

Nope, none of my subjects are killed either. All bugs & insects are photographed in their natural environment, alive. I have NO idea how to do focus stacking in any way. :/

Focus stacking is fun but I have no idea how you could do this on a live bug. I have enough trouble trying to even get one still enough to shoot using a macro lens or extension tubes.
