Re: glare or highlights on black beetle - poor diffuser ?

If possible take a test picture with diffused natural light, to see what you get.

With flash you will have to simulate the effect of natural light, so that there is no point source. You need to avoid any kind of hot spot. Much much easier said than done.

This is x2 of a Rosemary beetle. I cloned.the hot spots using other parts

You also have a degree of front focus as generally in this genre, the eyes are supposed to be in sharpest focus
