Insects in flight is pretty tough but worth persevering with as the results can be pretty good. At this time of the year we get lots of Drone flies in the garden. They are a type of Hoverfly and they occupy a small space, especially when the sun is out and they just sit there and hover. You only get about a second or two for the photo as they constantly dart off and intercept anything that flies within their airspace. Generally they come back to the same spot though. This will test your focusing abilities to the absolute limit but it's good fun.
For these I have about 150mm extension between camera and scope so that I can focus down to around 6 feet if needs be. These images were taken at roughly around 12 feet. No teleconverters were used.
