I have a cheapie LED on a flexible neck from China strapped to the snoot, great in low light and darkness for focus assist.
I am surprised you are getting any dof at f2.8 - though you must have got it right on the eyes of the beetle. If you are using flash you can easily go up to f18, as long as the surrounds allow for a colourful frame - avoiding the black BG, and keep the SS up.
