This fly appears to have a moustache. Not the devious, twirlable kind, so clearly it's not the most cunning of villains, but it had mind enough to make a victim of that li'l roach. Excellent face shot!

Now i seldom use. My older shots (more than 1 -2 year ago) i did use tubes and raynox 250 for macro. Now i only use raynox 250 together with my macro lens.

I used to mount my 270ex on the hotshoe with a reflector on top. farm9.staticflickr.com/8483/82…
Now i mount my flash on the lens tripod mount with a flash cord. Both have similar lighting but with the flash slightly in front, i can lower my iso and reduce my flash output.

I use a yongnuo yn 568ex ii on ettl mode with a lumiquest mini softbox. Should I make any changes? I mostly shoot using these settings 1/250 f/13-16 iso 100

Your photos look ok to me. If you want to further diffuse your lighting, then the general rule is to bring your diffuser as close to the subjects as possible. The softbox mounted on your flash is too far away for 1:1 subjects. If possible, get some wraping foam and rubberband it to the front part of the lens.

you will get better lighting but downside is insect will get spooked easier.
