Looks like a weevil of sorts. For ID, submit to http://bugguide.net/node/view/6/bgimage .
To soften light a bit more, consider adding more diffusion to your illumination source. Do we have a photo of your set-up?

Thanks Douglass I have sent pic to Bugguide. I will add more diffusion to Flash. Would it have a similar effect if I detatch the flash and move it back if I am indoor?
No pic of set up yet, still waiting for new Sony lenses and tubes
Am using 35 year old Minolta lens now.
PS will Bugguide be able to help with Australian bugs ?
Thanks Yvonne

Thanks Tom, Just curious, but how many shots would you discard shooting a jumper or bug? I am getting about 1 out of 10, is that usual?

Nice pics. If it was in the U.S., I'd say it looks like the white fringed beetle.
