If the bug is patient then yes it will work but in my experience handholding with a diffused flash or great natural light is way better then a mono or even tripod. If I tried using a mono or tri on most of my bug shots I would have nothing to show you guys and gals. It all comes down to technique... The better the technique the better the shot.</p></blockquote><p></p>
