...... At full zoom maximum aperture is f5.6 would anybody like to comment on whether they think it's OK at F5.6 or do I need to stop down a bit to 6.3 or 7.1.

I've seen some of your butterfly shots and from the looks of it you're doing pretty well with the apertures you are using.  Going to 5.6 may give you a little more speed but would also slightly reduce field of view which may make cost you an in focus image.  Best thing to do seeing as you have the lens is try it and see for yourself.
