You seem to have the idea that macro means you need a ring light. They tend to be low-powered, whether LEDs or flash. With flash, low power means long duration and minimal ability to freeze motion (camera or subject).
Ideally, the flash should have dedicated TTL function, otherwise you will be into calculations to allow for magnification factors, not something you want if you shoot only occasional macro.
Whenever you can, it is generally best to shoot by natural light, e.g. for butterflies. With flash, you are likely to get a lot of dark backgrounds, due to light fall-off.
