Thanks for your comment. I'm doing a PhD on insect flight and this was taken in a wind tunnel, so the insect was 'flying forward' but actually stationary in terms of the surroundings

Incredible how you managed to target the DOF right at full zoom and f/2.8. *Very* hard to achieve for a small, moving target like this. Nice. -Arn
