Orange swift moth.

This Orange swift moth came in to visit while I was decorating last night so rude not to get a shot.

This was taken with Canon R6 mk2 with a AstrHori 120mm F11 1/200 Iso 800 and Camon 430 ex 2 flash.

I need to improve on low light focus.

Quick question if I may ....... whats the best way to get the subject in focus in low light, I ended up using a torch and was lucky enough that the moth didn't fly either away or toward the light , with out it the exposure simulation in the viewfinder and the lcd was really laggy and the only way to improve it was to bump up the ISO but then once I got focus it was too high for the flash, do I need to find a happy medium between ISO and flash power ?
