Are you using very small aperture and with not to slow shutter speed and with flash?

perhaps too much flash. the black of the moths' wings is almost a grey card already

personally, i might try to -1 1/3 stops for exposure or maybe even more, with normal flash power. but remember ah, i not macro shooter

ya, lost some practice lah, have been taking birds lately... wonder if I get another chance like this again
