Improving my home "studio" setup

I love taking pictures of Damselflies out in the wild. My set up with is made up of an Olympus OMD em 10 Markii, Nissin i40 flash. I take all my shots handheld, rarely do I use the Raynox DCR 250 diopter when I'm out in the field for dragonflies, I tend to use if more when I'm taking pictures of specimens at home. At home I have a continuous light and sometimes I use one or two Zomei ZM430 external flashes to kill some unwanted shadows. The single most challenging thing about using a Raynox DCR 250 hand held is that it is sometimes hard to focus because of the depth of field. At home I tend to use a tripod and finally pulled the trigger on buying me a macro rail. I'm eagerly awaiting for my microscope to arrive so I can spend more time adapting an old donated camera to be used with my cheap Celestron microscope. I have spend most of last week working and the weekend as well, I've got a flu and it is that time of the year to de-worm. All the wells are dried up, the water is foul. Life...I'm taking a couple of days off from Oe-Cusse to visit my family and do the usual medical checkups, next week I'll be "odonating" again and hopefully taking better "studio" pictures to upload.
