Now this ought to have been taken with my 100mm Macro Lens, but all I had was Canon R5 Mk II + RF200mm-800mm lens, with a minimum focal distance of 0.8m at 200mm.

But I get the terrible feeling it was better done with the telephoto lens !?!

Anyway, what might be a female "Beautiful Demoiselle" (but could be some other sort of Damselfly), nowhere near water.

What’s with the hair (hair?) being blurry/out of focus on the insect’s head? Looks like the fibers on all the legs are sharp. I can’t really make sense of what is happening there.

For all depth of focus is more with a telephoto lens, I'd guess that's still the cause of the issue. I'm just delighted the bulk worked so crisply, I'll forgive the camera/physics a few hairs :)
