I am pretty sure that you possess some sort of real-time pause device. I have never seen a stationary Ichneumon wasp!

#1: the bottom damselfly is in the limit of DOF, but still great detail (don't like the BG much)
#2: the thin DOF works great here
#3: like it
#4: my favorite
#5: nice but not great
#6: needs more light from the bottom
#7: like it
#8: I would probably rotate that one

keep them coming

Nice shots.
I thought the same thing about the wasp. I've not yet been able to get one to stay still enough to shoot. Can't imagine it is possible with the MPE65mm.
