 Just a public thought... :)

		| | OK, I'm totally in the dark here, there are flashes specifically for macro work?  Or are you guys talking about using a regular flash while doing macro work? 
 I really prefer natural light :)

		| | you could save some $$ and just get an off-camera cord if you already own a flash. of if you're a Nikon boy, use your wireless settings

 I think they are these funky little ring flashes you can attach to your camera.  I know that's how they work for underwater macrophotography...
 
 Ah, Found one

		| | I'm a Nikon girl :) 
 So it's not a special flash, but a normal flash (I have the SB600, works great as a remote wireless).
 
 I thought you guys were talking about some other contraption.
 
 Sorry, too slow.  I was answering DreamStalker

 I believe he was refering to a ringlight flash such as this:
 Ringlight macro flash

		| | Ah, OK, yes, I've heard of those ring flashes.  Somewhere I saw a bunch of butterfly shots made with the aid of a ring flash - they were just beautiful. 
 Has anyone here tried these ring flashes?

 It's a bit different than that Tim. If you use a normal flash gun hand-held, you're going to get serious shadows. Even with reflectors all over the place, the camera lens is so close to the subject that you can't get light onto it.
 
 The ring-flash is the best way but they're expensive. Even a light tent doesn't work that well as again the lens just gets in the way and casts shadows
