i'd be suprised if you do, the lens is a 1:1 after all (possibly more than that depending on the crop of your sensor) - if you do you could try a 2x teleconverter or if you are feeling brave a teleconverter and extension tubes.
if you do that, for maximum manginfication put them on so that the converter is nearest the camera body , then the ext tubes, then the lens - beaware however that the ext tubes will reduce your max focusing distance which might not be the best for insects.
by way of illustration this is taken with my 90mm macro a 24mm ext tube and the 2xtc set up as above
