Looks like you didn't use a flash, right? Flash is the key to doing macro. You want to get the flash either on a bracket or handheld off the camera so you can control where the light comes from.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try adding a flash next time.
My butterfly bushes have regular visitors, so I'm sure I'll get another opportunity.

Funny you should post that... one time I forgot my photography specific reflector, but I remembered that I had a sun shield in the car. The matte silver of the car sun shield was a little cooler than a white reflector, but it was an easy fix in Lightroom.
