Re: RF 100mm Macro and R5, adult antlion shots. Very unique insect!

Just a thought that had occurred to me while considering this issue of not being able to use the automated focus stacking with flash due to the electronic shutter - it appears possible to use the Canon Camera Connect app (phone) to focus stack.  If the camera is set to mechanical shutter or EFCS, this should allow the use of flash, especially at low power and quick recycling.   May be difficult to use handheld though   Worth a try?

I've used the built-in focus bracketing, and I'd really like to be able to use it on these, but you can't use it with a flash as it forces the use of the electronic shutter which cannot be used with a flash unfortunately.
