DoF is shallow. I have a photo in the gallery that clearly shows the problem of DoF with damselflies. You'll notice that there is only a couple of mm along the central vertex that is in focus. On some of them even with the classic side view, if you get the near eye in focus the thorax will be out. So for those species you have to take a top down shot, or allow the loss of DoF to become a part of the shot.
