Exploring a backgated low density two-dimensional hole sample in the large $r_s$ regime we found a surprisingly rich phase diagram. At the highest densities, beside the $\nu=1/3$, 2/3, and 2/5 fractional quantum Hall states, we observe both of the previously reported high field insulating and reentrant insulating phases. As the density is lowered, the reentrant insulating phase initially strengthens, then it unexpectedly starts weakening until it completely dissapears. At the lowest densities the terminal quantum Hall state moves from $\nu=1/3$ to $\nu=1$. The intricate behavior of the insulating phases can be explained by a non-monotonic melting line in the $\nu$-$r_s$ phase space.
