Have You Tried To Take A Pic Of A Flying Insect?

[Blue88Comanche]

I was walking around my Grandmother's pond and decided to test out my camera.

 

Exp time 1/4000    F Stop f/5.6     Manual focus 

Nikon D-90 w/ nikon 70-300mm VR lens (VR was off)

Kinda hard to tell in the pic due to size, but were the wings in the focal plane or was it too narrow at 5.6?

I was trying to focus on center I mass but it was flying erratically and hard to track zoomed in all the way

Pretty damn good pic. I can see where they would be hard to photograph. Quick little boogers.
