Broad bodied and Four-Spot Chasers - Testing Aperture

Broad Bodied (first three images) and Four-spot Chasers emerged from the pond yesterday giving an opportunity to test what aperture would work best for this size of subject. The apertures were f5.6, f5.6, f2.8, f14, f20, f7.1, f7.1 - generally if I could get parallel and at the same level as the insect then the shallower depths worked best but often the podition required the greater depth of field

HI Ann,
Very nice pics of emerging 4-SCs. May I ask which lens you used - a macro or 100-400 telephoto? I have just acquired a Fuji XT2 and am wondering which would the best lens to get for macro photography. I have the 18-55mm, 10-24mm and 55-200mm, all of which are good for landscapes.
